Come, my Celia, let us prove, While we can, the sports of love, Time will not be ours for ever, He, at length, our good will sever; Spend not then his gifts in vain: Suns that set may rise again; But if once we lose this light, ’Tis with us perpetual night. Why should we defer our joys? Fame and rumour are but toys.

来吧，我的西莉亚，让我们尽可能地证明，爱情的游戏，时间不会永远属于我们。不要白白浪费他的恩赐，因为日落之后，太阳还会升起;但是一旦我们失去了这盏灯，那就是我们永远的黑夜。我们为什么要推迟享乐呢?名声和谣言不过是玩物。
