原文

Let those who are in favour with their stars
Of public honour and proud titles boast,
Whilst I, whom fortune of such triumph bars,
Unlook’d for joy in that I honour most.
Great princes’ favourites their fair leaves spread
But as the marigold at the sun’s eye,
And in themselves their pride lies buried,
For at a frown they in their glory die.
The painful warrior famoused for fight,
After a thousand victories once foil’d,
Is from the book of honour razed quite,
And all the rest forgot for which he toil’d:
Then happy I, that love and am beloved
Where I may not remove nor be removed.

译文

那些被天上星辰祝福的人们尽可以凭借荣誉与高衔而自负，我呢，本来命定没这种幸运，不料得到了我引为光荣的幸福。帝王的宠臣把美丽的花瓣大张，但是，正如太阳眼前的向日葵，人家一皱眉，他们的荣幸全灭亡，他们的威风同本人全化做尘灰。辛苦的将士，素以骁勇称著，打了千百次胜仗，一旦败绩，就立刻被人逐出荣誉的纪录簿，过去的功劳也被人统统忘记：我就幸福了，爱着人又为人所爱，这样，我是固定了，也没人能改。

注释

“星辰的神力给许多人以荣誉，但我却于无意中得到了我最引为光荣的幸福了。得宠于君王者，如向日葵，顷刻间（太阳只要皱一皱眉头）就失去精神；常胜的将军，一旦败北，即被忘却。我却爱着你也被你爱着，在这一点上，我是安全的。”——第六行：“向日葵”原文是金盏草花，据说它日出而开，日落即合；有论者认为原文这个字眼也可作向日葵解。
