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。
