Haste on, my joys!

Your treasure lies in swift, unceasing flight.

O haste: for while your beauty flies

I seize your full delight.

Lo!

I have seen the scented flower,

Whose tender stems I cull,

For her brief date and meted hour 

Appear more beautiful.

O youth,

O strength,

O most divine

For that so short ye prove;

Were but your rare gifts longer mine,

Ye scarce would win my love.

Nay, life it-self the heart would spurn,

Did once the days restore The days,

that once enjoyed return,

Return ah! never more.

 

加快，我的快樂！

你的寶藏位於快捷不斷的飛行。

哦，加快：因為你的美麗飛逝了

我抓住你的全數喜悅。

瞧！

我見過香花，

我剔除那花的嫩莖，

因為她的簡短日期和給予的時間

看起來更漂亮。

哦，青春，

哦，力量，

哦，最神聖的

因為那麼短，你們證明了；

但是你的珍貴禮物比我的更長，

你很少會贏得我的愛。

不，生活本身，心會唾棄，

曾經的日子恢復了幾天，

一旦享受過回歸，

回來啊！永不復返。
