Cent et cent fois penser un penser mesme
Language: French (Français) 
Our translations:  CHI ENG
Cent et cent fois penser un penser mesme,
A deux beaux yeux montrer à nud son coeur,
Boire tousjours d'une amere liqueur,
Manger tousjours d'une amertume extrème, 
 
Avoir la face et triste, et morne, et bleme,
Plus soupirer moins fléchir [la]1 rigueur,
Mourir d'ennuy receler sa langueur,
Du vueil d'autruy [des loix faire]2 à soy mesme ;
 
Un court despit, une aimantine foy
Aimer trop mieux son ennemy que soy,
Peindre en ses yeux mille vaines figures :

Vouloir parler et n'oser respirer,
Esperer tout et se desesperer,
Sont de ma mort les plus certains augures.

千百次思虑一样的思想
Language: Chinese (中文)  after the French (Français) 
千百次思虑一样的思想,
美丽的眼映上赤裸心脏,
苦涩的酒总得不断品尝,
常常咽下苦果非同寻常,

面带苍白忧虑还有悲伤,
更多叹息并且不在刚强,
蕴含萎缩就是无聊死亡,
其他规则对你也是一样;

短暂的耻辱,忠诚的爱戴
对敌人超过对自己的爱,
千般无用表情你眼里头。

想要说话偏偏不敢呼吸,
充满希望却又失望至极,
这些就是我死亡的征候。
