Tell her the joyous time will not be staid
告诉她：快乐的时光不会永驻，
Unlesse she do him by the forelock take,
除非她能把它牢牢地捏在手中；
Bid her therefore her selfe soon ready make,
嘱咐她要把一切的准备快快完成，
To wait on love amongst his lovely crew.

Where every one that misseth then her make,
谁若是还打动不了爱人的魂灵，
Shall be by him amercest with penance dew.
爱神就必定给他以应有的严惩。
Make hast therefore sweet love, whilest it is prime,
快抓住这甜蜜的爱，趁着青春时候，
For none can call againe the passed time.
青春一去难再，像是大海东流。
