Devouring Time blunt thou the lion's paws,
Tempo Devorador, embota tu as garras do leão,
And make the earth devour her own sweet brood,
E faz a terra devorar sua própria doce prole,
Pluck the keen teeth from the fierce tiger's jaws,
Arranca os dentes afiados das fauces do feroz tigre,
And burn the long-lived phoenix, in her blood,
E queima a fênix de longa vida, em seu próprio sangue,
Make glad and sorry seasons as thou fleet'st,
Faz as estações alegres e tristes enquanto passas veloz,
And do whate'er thou wilt swift-footed Time
E faz o que quiseres, Tempo de pés ligeiros,
To the wide world and all her fading sweets:
Ao vasto mundo e a todas as suas doçuras que murcham:
But I forbid thee one most heinous crime,
Mas eu te proíbo um crime hediondo acima de todos,
O carve not with thy hours my love's fair brow,
Ó, não esculpas com tuas horas a bela fronte do meu amor,
Nor draw no lines there with thine antique pen,
Nem traças linhas ali com tua antiga pena,
Him in thy course untainted do allow,
Permite que ele, em teu percurso, permaneça imaculado,
For beauty's pattern to succeeding men.
Como modelo de beleza para os homens futuros.
Yet do thy worst, old Time; despite thy wrong,
Ainda assim faz teu pior, velho Tempo; apesar de tua injúria,
My love shall in my verse ever live young.
Meu amor viverá para sempre jovem em meus versos.

A woman's face with nature's own hand painted,
Um rosto de mulher pintado pela própria mão da natureza,
Hast thou the master mistress of my passion,
Tens tu, senhor e senhora de minha paixão,
A woman's gentle heart but not acquainted
O gentil coração de uma mulher, porém não familiarizado
With shifting change as is false women's fashion,
Com as mudanças volúveis como é o modo das falsas mulheres,
An eye more bright than theirs, less false in rolling:
Um olhar mais brilhante que o delas, menos falso em seu girar:
Gilding the object whereupon it gazeth,
Dourando o objeto sobre o qual pousa seu olhar,
A man in hue all hues in his controlling,
Um homem em aparência, dominando todas as aparências,
Which steals men's eyes and women's souls amazeth.
Que rouba os olhos dos homens e maravilha as almas das mulheres.
And for a woman wert thou first created,
E para ser mulher foste primeiro criado,
Till nature as she wrought thee fell a-doting,
Até que a natureza, ao te formar, se apaixonou por ti,
And by addition me of thee defeated,
E com um acréscimo me frustrou em relação a ti,
By adding one thing to my purpose nothing.
Ao adicionar uma coisa que para meu propósito nada vale.
But since she pricked thee out for women's pleasure,
Mas já que ela te destinou ao prazer das mulheres,
Mine be thy love and thy love's use their treasure.
Meu seja o teu amor, e o uso do teu amor, o tesouro delas.
