可愛的伊莎貝拉未被碰過的面頰，

那應當有紅暈的地方卻變得蒼白了，

瘦成個要用聲聲撫慰

減輕嬰孩痛苦的年輕母親的臉：

“她病得多厲害啊！”他說，“我不能說，

可是我想說，把我的相思和盤托出：

若是容貌能表達衷情，我要喝她的淚，

這樣至少會嚇走她心中的憂慮。”

Until sweet Isabella’s untouch’d cheek

Fell sick within the rose’s just domain,

Fell thin as a young mother’s, who doth seek

By every lull to cool her infant’s pain:

"How ill she is," said he, "I may not speak,

And yet I will, and tell my love all plain:

If looks speak love-laws, I will drink her tears,

And at the least ’twill startle off her cares."
