Devouring Time, blunt thou the lion's paws,

And make the earth devour her own sweet brood;

Pluck the keen teeth from the fierce tiger's jaws,

And burn the long-liv'd phoenix, in her blood;

Make glad and sorry seasons as thou fleet'st,

And do whate'er thou wilt, swift-footed Time,

To the wide world and all her fading sweets;

But I forbid thee one most heinous crime:

O! carve not with thy hours my love's fair brow,

Nor draw no lines there with thine antique pen;

Him in thy course untainted do allow

For beauty's pattern to succeeding men.

Yet, do thy worst old Time: despite thy wrong,

My love shall in my verse ever live young.

時光你張口

時光你張口，盡可鈍獅爪，

土地長靈物，可令盡吞下;

雄獅血口中，且將獠牙拔，

長命有鳳凰，浴血來火化;

你作長風(fēng)去，欣憂季節(jié)替，

盡可任意為，時光腿腳利，

對廣大世界，及其易逝麗;

唯一最狠事，我將你禁止：

吾愛光潔額，請勿刻時間，

亦勿用古筆，其上畫線滿;

他在你征途，勿使受牽連，

美麗作樣本，人間永流傳。

你盡管作惡：即便遭你害，

吾愛活我詩，年輕永不敗。
