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:
Oh! 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.
翻译：
饕餮着时光，磨砺你雄狮的爪，
逼令大地吞噬，自己宝贝儿郎；
从猛虎口中，拔出尖利的牙齿，
又在血泊中烧烤，不死的凤凰；
使季节在你飞逝时，或悲或喜，
并且随心所欲，快步驱赶时光；
为大千世界和它那，衰败的美，
我禁你犯此令人发指的，罪状；
喔！别想费时用你的古董烂笔，
在我挚爱的美额上，刻弄文章；
它作为，男人功成名就的象征，
原本就带有，不可磨灭的沧桑；
尽管去摆弄，你错误的老时尚；
我的爱，将在我诗里万古流芳。
