From fairest creatures we desire increase,

가장 아름다운 존재들로부터 우리는 번성을 바라노니,

That thereby beauty's rose might never die,

그리하여 아름다움의 장미가 영원히 시들지 않도록,

But as the riper should by time decease,

그러나 더 무르익은 것이 세월에 의해 스러져야 할 때,

His tender heir might bear his memory:

그의 여린 후계자가 그의 기억을 이어받을 수 있도록:

But thou contracted to thine own bright eyes,

그러나 그대는 그대 자신의 빛나는 눈동자에만 사로잡혀,

Feed'st thy light's flame with self-substantial fuel,

그대 빛의 불꽃을 자기 자신이라는 연료로 태우며,

Making a famine where abundance lies,

풍요로움이 깃든 곳에 기근을 만들어내고,

Thyself thy foe, to thy sweet self too cruel:

그대 스스로가 그대의 적이 되어, 그대의 아름다운 자아에 너무나 가혹하구나:

Thou that art now the world's fresh ornament,

지금 이 세상의 싱그러운 장식인 그대,

And only herald to the gaudy spring,

화려한 봄의 유일한 전령인 그대,

Within thine own bud buriest thy content,

그대 자신의 꽃봉오리 안에 그대의 본질을 묻어버리고,

And, tender churl, mak'st waste in niggarding:

여린 인색한 자여, 아끼다가 오히려 낭비를 만들어내는구나:

Pity the world, or else this glutton be,

세상을 불쌍히 여기라, 그렇지 않으면 이 탐욕스러운 자가 되어,

To eat the world's due, by the grave and thee.

무덤과 그대 자신으로 하여 세상이 마땅히 받을 것을 삼켜버리리라.

When forty winters shall besiege thy brow,

마흔 번의 겨울이 그대의 이마를 포위하여,

And dig deep trenches in thy beauty's field,

그대 아름다움의 들판에 깊은 주름을 파놓을 때,

Thy youth's proud livery so gazed on now,

지금 이토록 사람들의 눈길을 받는 그대 청춘의 화려한 옷은,

Will be a tattered weed of small worth held:

가치 없는 남루한 잡초로 여겨지게 되리니:

Then being asked, where all thy beauty lies,

그때 그대의 모든 아름다움이 어디에 있느냐고 물음을 받을 때,

Where all the treasure of thy lusty days;

그대 활기찬 날들의 모든 보물이 어디에 있느냐고;

To say, within thine own deep sunken eyes,

그대 자신의 깊이 꺼진 눈 속에 있다고 말하는 것은,

Were an all-eating shame, and thriftless praise.

모든 것을 삼켜버리는 수치이자, 허망한 자화자찬이 되리라.

How much more praise deserv'd thy beauty's use,

그대의 아름다움을 올바르게 쓴다면 얼마나 더 많은 찬사를 받을 수 있을까,

If thou couldst answer 'This fair child of mine

만약 그대가 '나의 이 아름다운 아이가

Shall sum my count, and make my old excuse,'

나의 삶을 총결산하고, 나의 늙음을 변호해 주리라'고 답할 수 있다면,

Proving his beauty by succession thine.

대를 이어 그의 아름다움이 그대의 것임을 증명하면서.

This were to be new made when thou art old,

이것이야말로 그대가 늙었을 때 새로 태어나는 것이요,

And see thy blood warm when thou feel'st it cold.

그대의 피가 차갑게 느껴질 때 그 피가 따뜻하게 살아있음을 보는 것이리라.
