When I consider every thing that grows　　Holds in perfection but a little moment,　　That this huge stage presenteth nought but shows　　Whereon the stars in secret influence comment;　　When I perceive that men as plants increase,　　Cheered and cheque'd even by the self-same sky,　　Vaunt in their youthful sap, at height decrease,　　And wear their brave state out of memory;　　Then the conceit of this inconstant stay　　Sets you most rich in youth before my sight,　　Where wasteful Time debateth with Decay,　　To change your day of youth to sullied night;　　And all in war with Time for love of you,　　As he takes from you, I engraft you new.

　　当我默察一切活泼泼的生机　　保持它们的芳菲都不过一瞬，　　宇宙的舞台只搬弄一些把戏　　被上苍的星宿在冥冥中牵引;　　当我发觉人和草木一样蕃衍，　　任同一的天把他鼓励和阻挠，　　少壮时欣欣向荣，盛极又必反，　　繁华和璀璨都被从记忆抹掉;　　于是这一切奄忽浮生的征候　　便把妙龄的你在我眼前呈列，　　眼见残暴的时光与腐朽同谋，　　要把你青春的白昼化作黑夜;　　为了你的爱我将和时光争持：　　他摧折你，我要把你重新接枝。
