EVEN as the sun with purple-colour'd face
Had ta'en his last leave of the weeping morn,
Rose-cheek'd Adonis hied him to the chase;
Hunting he loved, but love he laugh'd to scorn;
Sick-thoughted Venus makes amain unto him,
And like a bold-faced suitor 'gins to woo him.
恰值朝时紫日暹,
仅剩晨露已消凝,
红颊急骋美少年;
独喜狩猎不钟情;
幽情神女施魔念,
求朗廉寡耻少见。
