No longer mourn for me when I am dead  

當我死時不要再為我悲哀，

Than you shall hear the surly sullen bell  

當你聽到陰鬱沉重的鐘聲響起，

Give warning to the world that I am fled  

向世人通告說我已經離開

From this vile world with vilest worms to dwell:  

這濁世去和最穢濁的蟲蛆同棲：

Nay, if you read this line, remember not 

不，如果你讀到此詩，不要回想

The hand that writ it, for I love you so,

書寫它的手，因為我愛你至深，

That I in your sweet thoughts would be forgot, 　

情願被你甜蜜的思緒遺忘，

If thinking on me then should make you woe.

如果想起我使你悲傷頓生。

O! if, I say, you look upon this verse, 　

噢，我說，如果你看到這詩，

When I perhaps compounded am with clay, 　

那時我或已和泥土混為一團，

Do not so much as my poor name rehearse; 　

請你連我可憐的名字都不要提，

But let your love even with my life decay;

就讓你的愛隨著我的生命消散；

Lest the wise world should look into your moan, 　

免得精明的世人看透你傷心處，

And mock you with me after I am gone. 　

讓你在我死後跟著我一同受辱。
