With means more blessed than my barren rhyme? 却反借重我这不育的诗行？
Now stand you on the top of happy hours, 如今你置身于桃花运的顶峰之上，
And many maiden 5 gardens, yet unset, With virtuous 6 wish would bear you living flowers, 有许多处女园等待你栽插红芳，殷切地盼望着你植下活花朵朵，
Much liker than your painted counterfeit 7. 花儿比你的画像更显出你的真相。
So should the lines of life that life repair, 所以生命只能靠生命线维系，

Can make you live yourself in eyes of men. 让你内在和外在的美色昭彰。
To give away yourself keeps yourself still, 故弃你自己将反使你自己长在,
