如果你一定要愛我，別有任何理由~
就純粹只為了愛而愛。
別說：
「我愛她，因為她迷人的微笑、她的模樣、
她的柔語輕喃，因為她的思維
總是和我相契，而且在那天，的確
為我帶來滿心的喜悅和舒適。」
親愛的，這些終有一天會變質
也許因你而變，如此譜出的愛也將因此而毀滅。
別因為你~
憐惜地拭去我臉頰上的淚水而愛我，
或許我會忘了哭泣，若有你持續
溫柔的安慰，卻可能因而失去你的愛。
愛我，請單純為愛而愛，
那你就能愛我，永無止盡地愛我。
If thou must love me, let it be for nought
Except for love's sake only. Do not say
`I love her for her smile ... her look ... her way
Of speaking gently, ... for a trick of thought
That falls in well with mine,
and certes brought [certes: certainly]
A sense of pleasant ease on such a day' --
For these things in themselves, Beloved, may
Be changed, or change for thee, --
and love, so wrought [wrought: worked]
May be unwrought so. Neither love me for
Thine own dear pity's wiping my cheeks dry, --
A creature might forget to weep, who bore
Thy comfort long, and lose thy love thereby!
But love for love's sake, that evermore
Thou may'st love on, through love's eternity.
