Cupid laid by his brand, and fell asleep:
丟下火炬的愛神沉沉入夢鄉(xiāng)，
A maid of Dian's this advantage found,
給月神的使女把良機送上，
And his love-kindling fire did quickly steep
她趕緊將逗情激愛之火拾起，
In a cold valley-fountain of that ground;
浸入附近的山泉，那泉水冰涼。
Which borrow'd from this holy fire of Love
既借得這神圣的愛情之火，
A dateless lively heat, still to endure,
這股熱量便不舍晝夜燃燒激蕩，
And grew a seething bath, which yet men prove
它使流泉如沸水澎湃，有人證明
Against strange maladies a sovereign cure.
這溫泉是包治百病的絕妙藥方。
But at my mistress' eye Love's brand new-fired,
現(xiàn)在愛神又借我情人之眼點燃情火，
The boy for trial needs would touch my breast;
為試功效，他用火炬觸我的胸膛，
I, sick withal, the help of bath desired,
我于是病了，便向溫泉求救，
And thither hied, a sad distemper'd guest,
我趕到那兒，滿心里狂躁又凄涼。
But found no cure: the bath for my help lies
可溫泉失效；因為它本來自我情人的雙眼，
Where Cupid got new fire--my mistress' eyes.
就連愛神的火炬，也不得不由它復燃。
