Cupid laid by his brand, and fell asleep:　　A maid of Dian's this advantage found,　　And his love-kindling fire did quickly steep　　In a cold valley-fountain of that ground;　　Which borrow'd from this holy fire of Love　　A dateless lively heat, still to endure,　　And grew a seething bath, which yet men prove　　Against strange maladies a sovereign cure.

　　But at my mistress' eye Love's brand new-fired,　　The boy for trial needs would touch my breast;　　I, sick withal, the help of bath desired,　　And thither hied, a sad distemper'd guest,　　But found no cure: the bath for my help lies　　Where Cupid got new fire--my mistress' eyes.

　　爱神放下他的火炬，沉沉睡去：　　月神的一个仙女乘了这机会　　赶快把那枝煽动爱火的火炬　　浸入山间一道冷冰冰的泉水;　　泉水，既从这神圣的火炬得来　　一股不灭的热，就永远在燃烧，　　变成了沸腾的泉，一直到现在　　还证实具有起死回生的功效。

　　但这火炬又在我情妇眼里点火，　　为了试验，爱神碰一下我胸口，　　我马上不舒服，又急躁又难过，　　一刻不停地跑向温泉去求救，　　但全不见效：能治好我的温泉　　只有新燃起爱火的、我情人的眼。
