Being your slave, what should I do but tend

　　Upon the hours and times of your desire?

　　I have no precious time at all to spend,

　　Nor services to do, till you require.

　　Nor dare I chide the world-without-end hour

　　Whilst I, my sovereign, watch the clock for you,

　　Nor think the bitterness of absence sour

　　When you have bid your servant once adieu;

　　Nor dare I question with my jealous thought

　　Where you may be, or your affairs suppose,

　　But, like a sad slave, stay and think of nought

　　Save, where you are how happy you make those.

　　So true a fool is love that in your will,

　　Though you do any thing, he thinks no ill.

　　既然是你奴隶，我有什么可做，

　　除了时时刻刻伺候你的心愿?

　　我毫无宝贵的时间可消磨，

　　也无事可做，直到你有所驱遣。

　　我不敢骂那绵绵无尽的时刻，

　　当我为你，主人，把时辰来看守;

　　也不敢埋怨别离是多么残酷，

　　在你已经把你的仆人辞退后;

　　也不敢用妒忌的念头去探索

　　你究竟在哪里，或者为什么忙碌，

　　只是，像个可怜的奴隶，呆想着

　　你所在的地方，人们会多幸福。

　　爱这呆子是那么无救药的呆

　　凭你为所欲为，他都不觉得坏。
