Tired with all these, for restful death I cry,
As, to behold¹ desert a beggar born,
And needy² nothing trimm'd in jollity,
And purest faith unhappily forsworn,
And guilded honour shamefully³ misplaced,
And maiden⁴ virtue⁵ rudely strumpeted,
And right perfection wrongfully disgraced,
And strength by limping sway disabled,
And art made tongue-tied by authority,
And folly⁶ doctor-like controlling skill,
And simple truth miscall'd simplicity,
And captive good attending captain ill:
  Tired with all these, from these would I be gone,
  Save that, to die, I leave my love alone.

厌了这一切，我向安息的死疾呼，
比方，眼见天才注定做叫化子，
无聊的草包打扮得衣冠楚楚，
纯洁的信义不幸而被人背弃，
金冠可耻地戴在行尸的头上，
处女的贞操遭受暴徒的玷辱，
严肃的正义被人非法地诟让，
壮士被当权的跛子弄成残缺，
愚蠢摆起博士架子驾驭才能，
艺术被官府统治得结舌箝口，
淳朴的真诚被人瞎称为愚笨，
囚徒"善"不得不把统帅"恶"伺候：
　　厌了这一切，我要离开人寰，
　　但，我一死，我的爱人便孤单。
