   Love's Witness

  Slight unpremeditated Words are borne
  By every common Wind into the Air;
  Carelessly utter'd, die as soon as born,
  And in one instant give both Hope and Fear:
  Breathing all Contraries with the same Wind
  According to the Caprice of the Mind.
  But Billetdoux are constant Witnesses,
  Substantial Records to Eternity1;
  Just Evidences,who the Truth confess,
  On which the Lover safely may rely;
  They're serious Thoughts,digested and resolv'd;
  And last,when Words are into Clouds devolv'd.
  不加思索的轻率话语,
  被每一次平凡的呼吸载入空气;
  随便说说,刚出口即消失,
  一瞬间给人希望和恐惧:
  同一气息呼出万般矛盾心肠,
  追随心灵无常的遐想。
  但情书则是恒常的见证,
  直至永恒的实体记录;
  公道的证物,它道出真诚,
  恋人能在其上安心依附;
  它们是严肃的思想,经过深思熟虑;
  当话语在云外消失,它们还将延续。
