So is it not with me as with that muse,

Assim não é comigo como com aquela musa,

Stirred by a painted beauty to his verse,

Movida por uma beleza pintada a seus versos,

Who heaven it self for ornament doth use,

Que usa o próprio céu como ornamento,

And every fair with his fair doth rehearse,

E cada beleza com a sua beleza recita,

Making a couplement of proud compare

Fazendo um emparelhamento de comparação orgulhosa

With sun and moon, with earth and sea's rich gems:

Com o sol e a lua, com a terra e as ricas gemas do mar:

With April's first-born flowers and all things rare,

Com as primeiras flores de abril e todas as coisas raras,

That heaven's air in this huge rondure hems.

Que o ar do céu neste imenso arredondamento encerra.

O let me true in love but truly write,

Ó deixai-me, fiel no amor, escrever verdadeiramente,

And then believe me, my love is as fair,

E então acreditai em mim, meu amor é tão belo,

As any mother's child, though not so bright

Quanto o filho de qualquer mãe, embora não tão brilhante

As those gold candles fixed in heaven's air:

Quanto aquelas velas douradas fixas no ar do céu:

Let them say more that like of hearsay well,

Que digam mais aqueles que apreciam o rumor,

I will not praise that purpose not to sell.

Eu não louvarei aquilo que não pretendo vender.

My glass shall not persuade me I am old,

Meu espelho não me persuadirá de que sou velho,

So long as youth and thou are of one date,

Enquanto a juventude e tu fordes da mesma data,

But when in thee time's furrows I behold,

Mas quando em ti os sulcos do tempo eu contemplar,

Then look I death my days should expiate.

Então esperarei que a morte expie meus dias.

For all that beauty that doth cover thee,

Pois toda aquela beleza que te cobre,

Is but the seemly raiment of my heart,

É apenas a digna vestimenta do meu coração,

Which in thy breast doth live, as thine in me,

Que em teu peito vive, como o teu em mim,

How can I then be elder than thou art?

Como posso então ser mais velho do que tu és?

O therefore love be of thyself so wary,

Ó portanto, amor, sê tão cauteloso contigo mesmo,

As I not for my self, but for thee will,

Como eu não por mim mesmo, mas por ti o farei,

Bearing thy heart which I will keep so chary

Carregando teu coração, que guardarei com tanto cuidado

As tender nurse her babe from faring ill.

Como a terna enfermeira seu bebê do mal.

Presume not on thy heart when mine is slain,

Não presumas sobre teu coração quando o meu for morto,

Thou gav'st me thine not to give back again.

Tu me deste o teu não para devolver novamente.
