英文

Against my love shall be, as I am now,

With Time's injurious hand crushed and o'erworn;

When hours have drained his blood and filled his brow

With lines and wrinkles; when his youthful morn

Hath travelled on to age's steepy night;

And all those beauties whereof now he's king

Are vanishing, or vanished out of sight,

Stealing away the treasure of his spring;

For such a time do I now fortify

Against confounding age's cruel knife,

That he shall never cut from memory

My sweet love's beauty, though my lover's life:

His beauty shall in these black lines be seen,

And they shall live, and he in them still green.

我担心爱友会像我现在这般

被时间的毒手肆意折磨、毁损；

那时，岁月会将他的血抽干，

使他的额头布满斑斑皱纹，

青春之晨踏进暮年的险夜，

一切的爱，今天奉他为圣君，

那时都将隐退，或渐次凋谢，

春天的宝藏从此丧失殆尽。

为防不测，我应该加固工事，

以防御岁月那无情的戕害，

纵然他能置我爱友于死地，

却砍不去爱友遗世的丰采。

　　他的美就在这诗行里纷呈，

　　这诗长在，诗中人也将长青。
