I wonder by my troth, what thou, and I 我當真不解，妳我相愛前 Did, till we loved? were we not weaned till then? 之所為？莫非我倆尚末斷奶？ But sucked on country pleasures, childishly? 如孩童般，野地之趣一味吸舔？ Or snorted we in the seven sleepers’ den? 或是在「七少睡洞」裡鼾了起來？

T’was so; But this, all pleasures fancies be. 的確；此愛獨真，一切歡愉皆虛。 If ever any beauty I did see, 倘若我曾目睹美人之軀， Which I desired, and got, t’was but a dream of thee. 欲佔有，且得之，凡此不過夢預。

And now good morrow to our waking souls, 此刻，向甦醒的靈魂問聲早， Which watch not one another out of fear; 彼此凝視，往日猜疑不復再； For love, all love of other sights controls, 因為真愛掌控一切感官所好， And makes one little room, an every where. 讓小小臥房，竟成了空天闊海。

Let sea-discoverers to new worlds have gone, 讓航海家前去探訪新天地， Let maps to others, worlds on worlds have shown, 讓星圖向他人展現諸星體， Let us possess one world, each hath one, and is one. 讓我倆擁有一地，互有且合一。

My face in thine eye, thine in mine appears, 妳我之雙顏，相映於四目， And true plain hearts do in the faces rest, 兩顆心真誠清明，安歇於雙臉， Where can we find two better hemispheres 且指出更美好的半球在何處， Without sharp North, without declining West? 沒有冷刺的北方，日沈的西邊？

What ever dies, was not mixed equally; 凡物之衰敗，皆因調合不勻； If our two loves be one, or, thou and I 若妳我兩愛合一，或，愛意貼近， Love so alike, that none do slacken, none can die. 妳與我，不懈怠，則此愛可無盡。
