歌词与中文翻译
Not from the stars do I my judgment pluck;
我并非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,
但我不想要去预测吉凶祸福,
Of plagues, of dearths, or seasons' quality;
也不想去卜饥荒、瘟疫或四时的风色;
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,
指出每个时辰的雷电和风雨,
Or say with princes if it shall go well,
或为国王占卜流年是否亨顺,
By oft predict that I in heaven find:
依据我常从上苍探得的天机。
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
破迷解惑推导出下述学问
As truth and beauty shall together thrive,
只要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昭示:
Thy end is truth's and beauty's doom and date.
你的死期也就是真和美的墓门。
