For term of life thou art assured mine,
And life no longer than thy love will stay,
For it depends upon that love of thine.
Then need I not to fear the worst of wrongs,
When in the least of them my life hath end.
I see a better state to me belongs
Than that which on thy humour doth depend;
Thou canst not vex me with inconstant mind,
Since that my life on thy revolt doth lie.
O, what a happy title do I find,
Happy to have thy love, happy to die!
But what's so blessed-fair that fears no blot?
Thou mayst be false, and yet I know it not.
但尽管你不顾一切偷偷溜走,
直到生命终点你还是属于我。
生命也不会比你的爱更长久,
因为生命只靠你的爱才能活。
因此,我就不用怕最大的灾害,
既然最小的已足置我于死地。
我瞥见一个对我更幸福的境界,
它不会随着你的爱憎而转移:
你的反复再也不能使我颓丧,
既然你一反脸我生命便完毕。
哦,我找到了多么幸福的保障:
幸福地享受你的爱,幸福地死去!
但人间哪有不怕玷污的美满?
你可以变心肠,同时对我隐瞒。
