My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun;

Coral is far more red than her lips' red;

If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun;

If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head.

I have seen roses damask'd, red and white,

But no such roses see I in her cheeks;

And in some perfumes is there more delight

Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks.

I love to hear her speak, yet well I know

That music hath a far more pleasing sound;

I grant I never saw a goddess go;

My mistress, when she walks, treads on the ground:

And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare

As any she belied with false compare.

我情婦的眼睛一點(diǎn)不像太陽(yáng)；

珊瑚比她的嘴唇還要紅得多：

雪若算白，她的胸就暗褐無(wú)光，

發(fā)若是鐵絲，她頭上鐵絲婆娑。

我見(jiàn)過(guò)紅白的玫瑰，輕紗一般；

她頰上卻找不到這樣的玫瑰；

有許多芳香非常逗引人喜歡，

我情婦的呼吸并沒(méi)有這香味。

我愛(ài)聽(tīng)她談話，可是我很清楚

音樂(lè)的悅耳遠(yuǎn)勝于她的嗓子；

我承認(rèn)從沒(méi)有見(jiàn)過(guò)女神走路，

我情婦走路時(shí)候卻腳踏實(shí)地：

　　可是，我敢指天發(fā)誓，我的愛(ài)侶

　　勝似任何被捧作天仙的美女。
