Being your slave, what should I do,
既然是你奴隸，我有什么可做，
But tend upon the hours and times of your desire?
除了時時刻刻伺候你的心愿？
I have no precious time at all to spend,
我毫無寶貴的時間可消磨，
Nor services to do, till you require.
也無事可做，直到你有所驅遣。
Nor dare I chide the world-without-end hour,
我不敢罵那綿綿無盡的時刻，
Whilst I, my sovereign, watch the clock for you,
當我為你，主人，把時辰來看守；
Nor think the bitterness of absence sour,
也不敢埋怨別離是多么殘酷，
When you have bid your servant once adieu;
在你已經把你的仆人辭退后；
Nor dare I question with my jealous thought,
也不敢用妒忌的念頭去探索
Where you may be, or your affairs suppose,
你究竟在哪里，或者為什么忙碌，
But, like a sad slave, stay and think of nought,
只是，像個可憐的奴隸，呆想著，
Save, where you are how happy you make those.
你所在的地方，人們會多幸福。
So true a fool is love that in your will,
愛這呆子是那么無救藥的呆，
Though you do any thing, he thinks no ill.
憑你為所欲為，他都不覺得壞。
