Those parts of thee that the world's eye doth view                   

世人眼中的確看不到你缺點

Want nothing that the thought of hearts can mend;          

是他們心裡想到可以改進的；

All tongues, the voice of souls, give thee that due,       

眾人之口與心，都給你應得的

Uttering bare truth, even so as foes commend.                  

赤裸真相，甚至連仇人也表揚。

Thy outward thus with outward praise is crown'd;    

你可見的外表得到表面嘉冕；

But those same tongues, that give thee so thine own,    

但是，這批相同的口舌，他們看

In other accents do this praise confound          

 到比眼睛更深入的東西，並以

By seeing farther than the eye hath shown.     

 其他口氣，混淆了對你的稱讚。

They look into the beauty of thy mind,                         

他們以己心審視你心靈之美，

And that in guess they measure by thy deeds;                   

 同時在猜想裡，度量你的行為；

Then, churls, their thoughts, although their eyes were kind,    

 壞東西，雖然他們的眼光諂媚，

To thy fair flower add the rank smell of weeds:  

看你卻像鮮花帶著野草俗味：

But why thy odour matcheth not thy show,                            

但為何你的品味與外表失配，

The soil is this, that thou dost common grow.                        

土壤既如斯，成長即平凡如是（晦）。

十一句、 十二句、混合語法，雖然他們眼光親切，看你像鮮花，其心中惡劣

十四句, 用晦字表示不順利、倒楣的意思。

此詩  讚之表裡，動機不純， 譽之內外 ，名實不稱。
