切勿全心一片抛
W.B. 葉慈作  傅正明譯

切勿全心一片抛，
縱然仙子投瓊瑤，
鏡中花艷蒙塵變，
醉裏桃紅解醒凋。
百吻丹唇寒玉齒，
三秋金菊卷蓬蒿。
夢園尋跡片時樂，
熱血剖心半世勞。

巧嘴優伶詞調高，
逢場作戲假風騷，
演來演去效琴挑。
啞女橫波傳愛意，
盲童發箭射雲雕，
真桃誰報笑儒袍。

Never Give All the Heart 

W.B.Yeats

Never give all the heart, for love
Will hardly seem worth thinking of
To passionate women if it seem
Certain, and they never dream
That it fades out from kiss to kiss;
For everything that’s lovely is
But a brief, dreamy, kind delight.
O never give the heart outright,

For they, for all smooth lips can say,
Have given their hearts up to the play.
And who could play it well enough
If deaf and dumb and blind with love?
He that made this knows all the cost,
For he gave all his heart and lost.
