But do thy worst to steal thyself away,

For term of life thou art assured mine,

And life no longer than thy love will stay,

For it depends upon that love of thine.

Then need I not to fear the worst of wrongs,

When in the least of them my life hath end.

I see a better state to me belongs

Than that which on thy humour doth depend;

Thou canst not vex me with inconstant mind,

Since that my life on thy revolt doth lie.

O, what a happy title do I find,

Happy to have thy love, happy to die!

But what's so blessed-fair that fears no blot?

Thou mayst be false, and yet I know it not.

但尽管你不顾一切偷偷溜走，

直到生命终点你还是属于我。

生命也不会比你的爱更长久，

因为生命只靠你的爱才能活。

因此，我就不用怕最大的灾害，

既然最小的已足置我于死地。

我瞥见一个对我更幸福的境界，

它不会随着你的爱憎而转移：

你的反复再也不能使我颓丧，

既然你一反脸我生命便完毕。

哦，我找到了多么幸福的保障：

幸福地享受你的爱，幸福地死去！

　　但人间哪有不怕玷污的美满？

　　你可以变心肠，同时对我隐瞒。
