{{Vs|1}} What poor astronomers are they | |||
take women's eyes for stars, | |||
and set their thoughts in battle 'ray, | |||
to fight such idle wars, | |||
when in the end they shall approve | |||
'tis but a jest drawn out of love. | |||
''' | {{Vs|2}} And love itself is but a jest, | ||
devis'd by idle heads, | |||
to catch young fancies in the nest | |||
and lay it in fools' beds; | |||
that, being hatch'd in Beauty's eyes, | |||
they may be fledg'd ere they be wise. | |||
{{Vs|3}} But yet it is a sport to see | |||
how wit will run on wheels, | |||
while will cannot persuaded be, | |||
{{ | with that which reason feels; | ||
that women's eyes and stars are odd, | |||
and Love is but a feigned god. | |||
{{Vs|4}} But such as will run mad with will, | |||
I cannot clear their sight, | |||
but leave them to their study still, | |||
to look where is no light. | |||
'Till them too late we make them try, | |||
they study false astronomy!}} | |||

{{Translation|Polish| | |||
{{Vs|1}} Jakże marnymi astronomami są ci, | |||
Którzy za gwiazdy mają niewieście oczy | |||
I myśli swoje w bój ślą, by | |||
Czcze i jałowe wojny toczyć. | |||
Bo w końcu przyznają, gdy romans skończony, | |||
Iż to figiel jedynie, przez miłość sprawiony. | |||
{{Vs|2}} Wszak miłość sama także jest żartem, | |||
Próżne go głowy umyśliły sprawić | |||
By chwytać miłostki niewiele warte | |||
I w głupców łóżkach je sadzić. | |||
Ci, pięknych oczu podlani spojrzeniem, | |||
Dojrzeć gotowi, na długo przed zmądrzeniem. | |||
{{Vs|3}} Więc obserwuję, ot dla rozrywki, | |||
Jak rozum kręćka dostaje | |||
A mądre słowo, na kształt pożywki | |||
Jest dla pragnienia i nic nie daje. | |||
Że oczy, od gwiazd blasku, dzieli wiele | |||
A miłość ziemska jak złoty jest cielec. | |||
{{Vs|4}} Lecz, gdy ochotność w takich szaleje, | |||
Nie sposób ich spojrzeń ocucić. | |||
Miłość jest ślepa, jak mówią dzieje, | |||
Zgłębiają więc dalej te puste nauki, | |||
Aż zrozumieją, pojmą że zbłądzili | |||
I fałszywej astronomii życie poświęcili.}} | |||
