　　I love not less, though less the show appear: 我脸上虽显淡漠，心里却热恋如火。

　　That love is merchandized whose rich esteeming¹ The owner's tongue doth publish every where. 爱既然不是商品，爱者的舌头就无需四处将其价值传播。

　　Our love was new and then but in the spring 想起我们的初恋，那时正值阳春，

　　When I was wont² to greet it with my lays, As Philomel in summer's front doth sing And stops her pipe in growth of riper days: 我总是唱着歌儿去迎接爱的来临，有如夜莺婉转鸣嘀于初夏，要到夏末之时才停止歌吟。

　　Not that the summer is less pleasant now 不是说此刻的夏季不如当年惬意，

　　Than when her mournful hymns³ did hush⁴ the night, 那时，他那哀伤之调曾使万籁无声。

　　But that wild music burthens every bough⁵ 我是说而今百鸟狂噪孤枝欲坠，

　　And sweets grown common lose their dear delight. 曲儿太多太俗，必失宠于心庭。

　　Therefore like her I sometime hold my tongue, 因此，我学夜莺，偶尔也紧闭双唇，

　　Because I would not dull you with my song. 以免我用过多的曲儿使你烦心。
