Cupid laid by his brand, and fell asleep:

A maid of Dian's this advantage found,

And his love-kindling fire did quickly steep

In a cold valley-fountain of that ground;

Which borrow'd from this holy fire of Love

A dateless lively heat, still to endure,

And grew a seething bath, which yet men prove

Against strange maladies a sovereign cure.

But at my mistress' eye Love's brand new-fired,

The boy for trial needs would touch my breast;

I, sick withal, the help of bath desired,

And thither hied, a sad distemper'd guest,

But found no cure: the bath for my help lies

Where Cupid got new fire--my mistress' eyes.

愛(ài)神放下他的火炬，沉沉睡去：

月神的一個(gè)仙女乘了這機(jī)會(huì)

趕快把那枝煽動(dòng)愛(ài)火的火炬

浸入山間一道冷冰冰的泉水；

泉水，既從這神圣的火炬得來(lái)

一股不滅的熱，就永遠(yuǎn)在燃燒，

變成了沸騰的泉，一直到現(xiàn)在

還證實(shí)具有起死回生的功效。

但這火炬又在我情婦眼里點(diǎn)火，

為了試驗(yàn)，愛(ài)神碰一下我胸口，

我馬上不舒服，又急躁又難過(guò)，

一刻不停地跑向溫泉去求救，

　　但全不見(jiàn)效：能治好我的溫泉

　　只有新燃起愛(ài)火的、我情人的眼。
