The little Love-god lying once asleepLaid by his side his heart-inflaming brand,Whilst many nymphs that vow'd chaste1 life to keepCame tripping by; but in her maiden2 handThe fairest votary3 took up that fireWhich many legions of true hearts had warm'd;And so the general of hot desireWas sleeping by a virgin4 hand disarm'd.This brand she quenched5 in a cool well by,Which from Love's fire took heat perpetual,Growing a bath and healthful remedyFor men diseased; but I, my mistress' thrall, Came there for cure, and this by that I prove, Love's fire heats water, water cools not love.
小小愛(ài)神有一次呼呼地睡著，把點(diǎn)燃心焰的火炬放在一邊，一群蹁躚的貞潔的仙女恰巧走過(guò)；其中最美的一個(gè)天仙用她處女的手把那曾經(jīng)燒紅萬(wàn)千顆赤心的火炬偷偷拿走，于是這玩火小法師在酣睡中便繳械給那貞女的纖纖素手。她把火炬往附近冷泉里一浸，泉水被愛(ài)神的烈火燒得沸騰，變成了溫泉，能消除人間百??；但我呵，被我情婦播弄得頭疼， 跑去溫泉就醫(yī)，才把這點(diǎn)弄清： 愛(ài)燒熱泉水，泉水冷不了愛(ài)情。
