Sonnets of William Shakespeare-Sonnet 104

　　For as you were when first your eye I eyed,

　　Such seems your beauty still. Three winters cold

　　Have from the forests shook three summers' pride,

　　Three beauteous springs to yellow autumn turn'd

　　In process of the seasons have I seen,

　　Three April perfumes in three hot Junes burn'd,

　　Since first I saw you fresh, which yet are green.

　　Ah! yet doth beauty, like a dial-hand,

　　Steal from his figure and no pace perceived;

　　So your sweet hue, which methinks still doth stand,

　　Hath motion and mine eye may be deceived:

　　For fear of which, hear this, thou age unbred;

　　Ere you were born was beauty's summer dead.

　　對于我，俊友，你永遠不會哀老，

　　因為自從我的眼碰見你的眼，

　　你還是一樣美。三個嚴冬搖掉

　　三個蒼翠的夏天的樹葉和光艷，

　　三個陽春三度化作秋天的枯黃。

　　時序使我三度看見四月的芳菲

　　三度被六月的炎炎烈火燒光。

　　但你，還是和初見時一樣明媚;

　　唉，可是美，像時針，它躡著腳步

　　移過鐘面，你看不見它的蹤影;

　　同樣，你的姣顏，我以為是常駐，

　　其實在移動，迷惑的是我的眼睛。

　　顫栗吧，未來的時代，聽我呼吁：

　　你還沒有生，美的夏天已死去。
