O know to end, as to begin.

A minute’s loss in love is sin,

You do our rites much wrong

In seeking to prolong

These outward pleasures.

The night hath other treasures 

Than these,

Then know to end,

Know as to begin.

though long concealed,

O know a minute’s loss in love is sin.

Ere day to be revealed,

O know to end, as to begin,

to be revealed.

 

哦，知道要結束，如同開始。

在愛情裡失去一分鐘就是罪，

你做我們的儀式做錯了

尋求延長

這些外在的樂趣。

比起這些，

夜晚有其他的寶藏

然後知道要結束了，

如同開始。

雖然隱藏得很久，

哦，知道在愛情裡失去一分鐘就是罪。

在揭曉的日子之前，

哦，知道要結束，如同開始，

最終會被揭露。
