Till then, not show my head where thou mayst prove me.

我从前躲闪，是怕您考验我的雄威。

Wretched in this alone, that thou mayst take All this away and me most wretched make.

怕只怕生变故，你一旦出走，则万事皆休，天下皆乐我独愁。

And that fresh blood which youngly thou bestow'st thou mayst call thine, when thou from youth convertest.

你年轻时贡献的一注精血若存，你不再年轻时便成为你收获的对象。

Yet calm, enticing calm, oh, whale! thou glidest on, to all who for the first time eye thee, no matter how many in that same way thou mayst have bejuggled and destroyed before.

啊，悄悄滑行的大鲸，无论你从前以这种招数欺骗和毁灭了多少人，初次看见你的人，他们眼中看见的依然是宁静，诱人的宁静！
