Thus is his cheek the map of days outworn,　　When beauty lived and died as flowers do now,　　Before the bastard signs of fair were born,　　Or durst inhabit on a living brow;　　Before the golden tresses of the dead,　　The right of sepulchres, were shorn away,　　To live a second life on second head;　　Ere beauty's dead fleece made another gay:　　In him those holy antique hours are seen,　　Without all ornament, itself and true,　　Making no summer of another's green,　　Robbing no old to dress his beauty new;　　And him as for a map doth Nature store,　　To show false Art what beauty was of yore.

　　这样，他的朱颜是古代的图志，　　那时美开了又谢像今天花一样，　　那时冒牌的艳色还未曾出世，　　或未敢公然高据活人的额上，　　那时死者的美发，坟墓的财产，　　还未被偷剪下来，去活第二回　　在第二个头上②;那时美的死金鬟　　还未被用来使别人显得华贵：　　这圣洁的古代在他身上呈现，　　赤裸裸的真容，毫无一点铅华，　　不用别人的青翠做他的夏天，　　不掠取旧脂粉妆饰他的鲜花;　　就这样造化把他当图志珍藏，　　让假艺术赏识古代美的真相。
