　　And therefore to your fair no painting set; 所以我从来不往你脸上贴金；

　　I found, or thought I found, you did exceed The barren tender of a poet's debt; 我发现或自以为发现，你的丰采使诗人们报恩的颂词更美妙十分。

　　And therefore have I slept in your report, 于是我忙里偷闲暂停把你歌唱，

　　That you yourself being extant well might show 好让活生生的你把自己的美证明。

　　How far a modern quill¹ doth come too short, 时下摇鹅毛管的人显得多么愚笨，

　　Speaking of worth, what worth in you doth grow. 空嚷嚷你有美德却愈说愈说不清。

　　This silence for my sin you did impute², 你将我一时沉默看作是我的过错，

　　Which shall be most my glory, being dumb; 其实我装聋作哑更添我荣光数层。

　　For I impair³ not beauty being mute, 因为我隐忍不发璧全你美色无双，

　　When others would give life and bring a tomb. 他人欲锦上添花反害了卿卿性命。

　　There lives more life in one of your fair eyes Than both your poets can in praise devise. 你即使一只眼眸也暗藏生机万点，远胜我辈诗人，徒奉颂词三千。
