The little Love-god lying once asleepLaid by his side his heart-inflaming brand,Whilst many nymphs that vow'd chaste1 life to keepCame tripping by; but in her maiden2 handThe fairest votary3 took up that fireWhich many legions of true hearts had warm'd;And so the general of hot desireWas sleeping by a virgin4 hand disarm'd.This brand she quenched5 in a cool well by,Which from Love's fire took heat perpetual,Growing a bath and healthful remedyFor men diseased; but I, my mistress' thrall, Came there for cure, and this by that I prove, Love's fire heats water, water cools not love.
小小爱神有一次呼呼地睡着，把点燃心焰的火炬放在一边，一群蹁跹的贞洁的仙女恰巧走过；其中最美的一个天仙用她处女的手把那曾经烧红万千颗赤心的火炬偷偷拿走，于是这玩火小法师在酣睡中便缴械给那贞女的纤纤素手。她把火炬往附近冷泉里一浸，泉水被爱神的烈火烧得沸腾，变成了温泉，能消除人间百病；但我呵，被我情妇播弄得头疼， 跑去温泉就医，才把这点弄清： 爱烧热泉水，泉水冷不了爱情。
