nor my beloved as an idol show,

　　since all alike my songs and praises be

　　to one, of one, still such, and ever so.

　　kind is my love to-day, to-morrow kind,

　　still constant in a wondrous excellence;

　　therefore my verse to constancy confined,

　　one thing expressing, leaves out difference.

　　`fair, kind and true` is all my argument,

　　`fair, kind, and true` varying to other words;

　　and in this change is my invention spent,

　　three themes in one, which wondrous scope affords.

　　`fair, kind, and true,` have often lived alone,

　　which three till now never kept seat in one.

　　不要把我的爱叫作偶像崇拜，

　　也不要把我的爱人当偶像看，

　　既然所有我的歌和我的赞美

　　都献给一个、为一个，永无变换。

　　我的爱今天仁慈，明天也仁慈，

　　有着惊人的美德，永远不变心，

　　所以我的诗也一样坚贞不渝，

　　全省掉差异，只叙述一件事情。

　　"美、善和真"，就是我全部的题材，

　　"美、善和真"，用不同的词句表现;

　　我的创造就在这变化上演才，

　　三题一体，它的境界可真无限。

　　过去"美、善和真"常常分道扬镳，

　　到今天才在一个人身上协调。
