英文

When I do count the clock that tells the time

And see the brave day sunk in hideous night;

When I behold the violet past prime

And sable curls, all silvered o'er with white;

When lofty trees I see barren of leaves,

Which erst from heat did canopy the herd,

And summer's green all girded up in sheaves

Borne on the bier with white and bristly beard;

Then of thy beauty do I question make

That thou among the wastes of time must go,

Since sweets and beauties do themselves forsake

And die as fast as they see others grow;

And nothing 'gainst Time's scythe can make defence

Save breed, to brave him when he takes thee hence.

当我计数着时钟报出时间，

看见灿烂的白天沉入暗夜；

当我看见紫罗兰不再娇艳，

乌黑的卷发染上银色霜雪；

曾为牛羊遮挡炎热的树林，

如今不再有绿，已叶落枝枯，

夏日的青翠已扎成一捆捆，

丢在灵车上，像白须的伧夫；

我由此思忖你具有的丽质，

想必也会走进时间的荒丘，

因为甜美之物必然要自弃，

见别人成长，自己匆匆仙游。

　　时间的镰刀无人可以阻挡，

　　你死后，唯子孙能与之对抗。
