Devouring Time, blunt thou the lion's paws,
And make the earth devour her own sweet brood;
Pluck the keen teeth from the fierce tiger's jaws,
And burn the long-liv'd phoenix, in her blood;
Make glad and sorry seasons as thou fleet'st,
And do whate'er thou wilt, swift-footed Time,
To the wide world and all her fading sweets;
But I forbid thee one most heinous crime:
O! carve not with thy hours my love's fair brow,
Nor draw no lines there with thine antique pen;
Him in thy course untainted do allow
For beauty's pattern to succeeding men.
Yet, do thy worst old Time: despite thy wrong,
My love shall in my verse ever live young.
时光你张口
时光你张口，尽可钝狮爪，
土地长灵物，可令尽吞下;
雄狮血口中，且将獠牙拔，
长命有凤凰，浴血来火化;
你作长风去，欣忧季节替，
尽可任意为，时光腿脚利，
对广大世界，及其易逝丽;
唯一最狠事，我将你禁止：
吾爱光洁额，请勿刻时间，
亦勿用古笔，其上画线满;
他在你征途，勿使受牵连，
美丽作样本，人间永流传。
你尽管作恶：即便遭你害，
吾爱活我诗，年轻永不败。
