O do not wanton with those eyes,

Lest I be sick with seeing;

Nor cast them down,

but let them rise,

Lest shame destroy their being.

O be not angry with those fires,

For then their threats will kill me;

Nor look too kind on my desires,

For then my hopes will spill me.

O do not steep them in thy tears,

For so will sorrow slay me;

Nor spread them as distract with fears,

Mine own enough betray me.

 

哦，不要肆意用那些眼睛，

以免我的視覺病了；

也不要垂下目光，

但讓目光抬起來，

免得羞辱毀滅它們的存在。

對這些火焰不要生氣，

那時它們的威脅會殺了我；

對我的慾望也不太看好，

那時我的希望會溢出來。

哦，不要用你的淚水浸泡它們，

因為悲傷會殺死我；

也不會因擔心而分散它們的注意力，

我自己足夠背叛了我。
