Lo in the orient when the gracious light

Kìa ở phương đông khi ánh sáng hồng ân

Lifts up his burning head, each under eye

Nâng cao đầu rực lửa, mỗi con mắt bên dưới

Doth homage to his new-appearing sight,

Đều tỏ lòng kính bái trước ánh nhìn mới hiện,

Serving with looks his sacred majesty,

Phụng sự bằng cái nhìn uy nghiêm thiêng liêng của Người,

And having climbed the steep-up heavenly hill,

Và khi đã leo lên ngọn đồi thiên giới dốc cao,

Resembling strong youth in his middle age,

Trông tựa tuổi trẻ cường tráng trong thời trung niên,

Yet mortal looks adore his beauty still,

Vậy mà những cái nhìn trần thế vẫn ngưỡng mộ vẻ đẹp của Người,

Attending on his golden pilgrimage:

Dõi theo cuộc hành hương vàng son của Người:

But when from highmost pitch with weary car,

Nhưng khi từ đỉnh cao nhất với cỗ xe mệt mỏi,

Like feeble age he reeleth from the day,

Tựa tuổi già yếu ớt Người loạng choạng rời khỏi ban ngày,

The eyes (fore duteous) now converted are

Những đôi mắt (vốn trung thành) nay đã quay đi

From his low tract and look another way:

Khỏi đường đi thấp kém của Người mà nhìn sang hướng khác:

So thou, thyself out-going in thy noon:

Vậy nên người, bản thân người đang vượt qua buổi trưa của mình:

Unlooked on diest unless thou get a son.

Sẽ chết mà không ai nhìn đến trừ khi người có được một người con.

Music to hear, why hear'st thou music sadly?

Để nghe âm nhạc, sao người lại nghe nhạc một cách buồn bã?

Sweets with sweets war not, joy delights in joy:

Ngọt ngào không chiến với ngọt ngào, niềm vui vui mừng trong niềm vui:

Why lov'st thou that which thou receiv'st not gladly,

Sao người yêu thứ mà người không vui lòng đón nhận,

Or else receiv'st with pleasure thine annoy?

Hay đón nhận với khoái thú nỗi phiền muộn của mình?

If the true concord of well-tuned sounds,

Nếu sự hòa hợp thực sự của những âm thanh khéo điều chỉnh,

By unions married do offend thine ear,

Khi kết hợp cùng nhau lại xúc phạm đến tai người,

They do but sweetly chide thee, who confounds

Chúng chỉ nhẹ nhàng trách người, kẻ đang làm lẫn lộn

In singleness the parts that thou shouldst bear:

Trong sự đơn độc những phần mà người lẽ ra phải gánh:

Mark how one string sweet husband to another,

Hãy xem cách một dây đàn như người chồng ngọt ngào với dây kia,

Strikes each in each by mutual ordering;

Chạm vào nhau theo sự sắp xếp tương hỗ;

Resembling sire, and child, and happy mother,

Tựa như người cha, đứa con, và người mẹ hạnh phúc,

Who all in one, one pleasing note do sing:

Tất cả cùng hòa trong một, cùng hát lên một nốt nhạc dễ chịu:

Whose speechless song being many, seeming one,

Bài ca im lặng của họ tuy nhiều mà dường như một,

Sings this to thee, 'Thou single wilt prove none'.

Hát lên điều này cho người, 'Ngươi sống đơn độc sẽ chẳng là gì cả'.

Is it for fear to wet a widow's eye,

Có phải vì sợ làm ướt mắt một người góa phụ,

That thou consum'st thyself in single life?

Mà người đốt cháy bản thân trong cuộc sống đơn độc?
