In youth, before I waxed old, The blind boy, Venus' baby, For want of cunning made me bold, In bitter hive to grope for honey.

In youth, before I waxed old, The blind boy, Venus' baby, For want of cunning made me bold, In bitter hive to grope for honey.

年轻时，我还没有老去，维纳斯的孩子，一个瞎子，因为缺乏狡猾，使我胆大起来，在苦涩的蜂房里摸索蜂蜜。

-- Edmund Spenser 斯宾塞
