Betwixt mine eye and heart a league is took,

And each doth good turns now unto the other:

When that mine eye is famish'd for a look,

Or heart in love with sighs himself doth smother,

With my love's picture then my eye doth feast

And to the painted banquet bids my heart;

Another time mine eye is my heart's guest

And in his thoughts of love doth share a part:

So, either by thy picture or my love,

Thyself away art resent still with me;

For thou not farther than my thoughts canst move,

And I am still with them and they with thee;

Or, if they sleep, thy picture in my sight

Awakes my heart to heart's and eye's delight.

現(xiàn)在我的眼和心締結(jié)了同盟，

為的是互相幫忙和互相救濟：

當(dāng)眼兒渴望要一見你的尊容，

或癡情的心快要給嘆氣窒息，

眼兒就把你的畫像大擺筵桌，

邀請心去參加這圖畫的盛宴；

有時候眼睛又是心的座上客，

去把它繾綣的情思平均分沾：

這樣，或靠你的像或我的依戀，

你本人雖遠離還是和我在一起；

你不能比我的情思走得更遠，

我老跟著它們，它們又跟著你；

　　或者，它們倘睡著，我眼中的像

　　就把心喚醒，使心和眼都舒暢。
