They ask me— thy crystalline eyes, so acute,

你水晶似的明眸向我说：

"Odd lover why am I to thee so dear?"

“我对你有什么好处，奇怪的爱人？”

Be sweet and keep silent, my heart, which is sear,

——乖些，别作声；一切都使我的心

For all, save the rude and untutored brute,

激怒，除了原始野兽的真诚；

Is loth its infernal depths to reveal,

它不愿向你袒示它阴暗的秘密，

And its dissolute motto engraven with fire,

一手招我沉睡的摇篮人；

Oh charmer! whose arms endless slumber inspire!

也不愿给你看它的火焰写成的经历，

I abominate passion and wit makes me ill.

我恨热情，智慧又令我疲病不振；

So let us love gently. Within his retreat,

我们默默地相爱吧。暗淡的、潜伏的爱情，

Foreboding, Love seeks for his arrows a prey,

在它的岗位上张着命运的弓，

I know all the arms of his battle array.

我知道它古老的兵库里那些武器：

Delirium and loathing O pale Marguerite!

罪恶、恐怖和疯狂！——-呵，苍白的雏菊！

Like me, art thou not an autumnal ray,

你不也如我是一轮秋阳，

Alas my so white, my so cold Marguerite

呵，我如此纯洁，如此无情的玛格丽？
