Sonnet 47

TRUST not the treason of those smyling lookes,

Untill ye have theyr guylefull traynes1 well tryde2:

For they are lyke but unto golden hookes,

That from the foolish fish theyr bayts doe hyde:

So she with flattring smyles weake harts doth guyde,

Unto her love, and tempte to theyr decay3,

Whome being caught, she kills with cruell pryde,

And feeds at pleasure on the wretched pray:

Yet even whylst her bloody hands them slay,

Her eyes looke louely, and upon them smyle:

That they take pleasure in [her] cruell play,

And, dying, doe them selues of payne beguyle4.

O mighty charm! which makes men love theyr bane5,

And thinck they dy with pleasure, live with payne.

注释:1.traynes:圈套,陷阱。
