你的面子，这对我有什么好处？
With my extern the outward honoring,
为永久，我奠下伟大的基础——它其实
Or laid great bases for eternity,
比荒芜为期更短，这也是何苦？
Which proves more short than waste or ruining?
难道我没见过仪表和容貌的租用者
Have I not seen dwellers on form and favor
付太多租钱，反而把一切都丢光？
Lose all and more by paying too much rent,
可怜的贪利人，老在凝视中挥霍，
For compound sweet forgoing simple savor,
弃清淡入味，只追求浓油赤酱！
Pitiful thrivers, in their gazing spent?
不；——让我在你心中永远不渝，
No, let me be obsequious in thy heart,
请接受我贫乏然而真率的贡礼，
And take thou my oblation, poor but free,
它没有羼杂次货，也不懂权术，
Which is not mixed with seconds, knows no art,
只不过是我向你回敬的诚意。
But mutual render, only me for thee.
滚开，假证人，告密者！你愈陷害
Hence, thou suborned informer! A true soul
忠实的灵魂，他愈在你控制以外。
When most impeached stands least in thy control.
