你教土地把自己的爱子吞掉吧；
And make the earth devour her own sweet brood;
你从猛虎嘴巴里拔下尖牙吧，
Pluck the keen teeth from the fierce tiger's jaws,
教长命凤凰在自己的血中燃烧吧；特别第四行
And burn the long-lived phoenix in her blood;
你飞着把季节弄得时悲时喜吧，
Make glad and sorry seasons as thou fleets,
飞毛腿时间呵，你把这广大的世间
And do whate'er thou wilt, swift-footed Time,
和一切可爱的东西，任意处理吧；
To the wide world and all her fading sweets;
但是我禁止你一桩最凶的罪愆：特别第八行
But I forbid thee one most heinous crime,
你别一刀刀镌刻我爱人的美额，
O, carve not with thy hours my love's fair brow,
别用亘古的画笔在那儿画条纹；
Nor draw no lines there with thine antique pen.
允许他在你的过程中不染杂色，
Him in thy course untainted do allow,
给人类后代留一个美的准绳。特别第十二行
For beauty's pattern to succeeding men.
但是，时光老头子，不怕你狠毒：
Yet do thy worst, old Time; despite thy wrong,
我爱人会在我诗中把青春永驻。
My love shall in my verse ever live young.
