Not from the stars do I my judgement pluck,
我不是从星辰得出我的结论，
And yet methinks I have astronomy;
可我似乎对占星也不学而精，
But not to tell of good or evil luck,
但我不想要去预知吉凶祸福，
Of plagues, of dearths, or seasons' quality;
也不要去卜瘟疫，测气候，占年成。
Nor can I fortune to brief minutes tell,
我不能为分分秒秒算出命运，
Pointing to each his thunder, rain, and wind,
说每一刻有什么雷、雨和风云。
Or say with princes if it shall go well
我也不能凭上苍暗授的什么天机，
By oft predict that I in heaven find.
披露帝王将相是走红还是背运。
But from thine eyes my knowledge I derive,
我只是从你的双眼这一对恒星
And, constant stars, in them I read such art
破谜解惑推导出下述学问：
As truth and beauty shall together thrive
假如你回心转意哺育儿孙，
If from thyself to store thou wouldst convert:
真和美就永远繁荣共存。
Or else of thee this I prognosticate,
要不然我就会这样给你算命：
Thy end is truth's and beauty's doom and date.
你的死期也就是真与美的墓门。
