Being your slave, what should I do,
既然是你奴隶，我有什么可做，
But tend upon the hours and times of your desire?
除了时时刻刻伺候你的心愿？
I have no precious time at all to spend,
我毫无宝贵的时间可消磨，
Nor services to do, till you require.
也无事可做，直到你有所驱遣。
Nor dare I chide the world-without-end hour,
我不敢骂那绵绵无尽的时刻，
Whilst I, my sovereign, watch the clock for you,
当我为你，主人，把时辰来看守；
Nor think the bitterness of absence sour,
也不敢埋怨别离是多么残酷，
When you have bid your servant once adieu;
在你已经把你的仆人辞退后；
Nor dare I question with my jealous thought,
也不敢用妒忌的念头去探索
Where you may be, or your affairs suppose,
你究竟在哪里，或者为什么忙碌，
But, like a sad slave, stay and think of nought,
只是，像个可怜的奴隶，呆想着，
Save, where you are how happy you make those.
你所在的地方，人们会多幸福。
So true a fool is love that in your will,
爱这呆子是那么无救药的呆，
Though you do any thing, he thinks no ill.
凭你为所欲为，他都不觉得坏。
