Cupid laid by his brand, and fell asleep:
丟下火炬的爱神沉沉入梦乡，
A maid of Dian's this advantage found,
给月神的使女把良机送上，
And his love-kindling fire did quickly steep
她赶紧将逗情激爱之火拾起，
In a cold valley-fountain of that ground;
浸入附近的山泉，那泉水冰凉。
Which borrow'd from this holy fire of Love
既借得这神圣的爱情之火，
A dateless lively heat, still to endure,
这股热量便不舍昼夜燃烧激荡，
And grew a seething bath, which yet men prove
它使流泉如沸水澎湃，有人证明
Against strange maladies a sovereign cure.
这温泉是包治百病的绝妙药方。
But at my mistress' eye Love's brand new-fired,
现在爱神又借我情人之眼点燃情火，
The boy for trial needs would touch my breast;
为试功效，他用火炬触我的胸膛，
I, sick withal, the help of bath desired,
我于是病了，便向温泉求救，
And thither hied, a sad distemper'd guest,
我赶到那儿，满心里狂躁又凄凉。
But found no cure: the bath for my help lies
可温泉失效；因为它本来自我情人的双眼，
Where Cupid got new fire--my mistress' eyes.
就连爱神的火炬，也不得不由它复燃。
