共汝比喻做夏天敢好？

汝啊閣較古錐掛燒烙。

生狂風共五月的花莓仔搧落，

和夏天的約束實在是傷短促。

有時陣天頂之眼燒沸沸來炤，

目一𥍉伊的金鑠鑠煞予閘掩。

有時有陣的媠不三時仔走無，

好歹字運天地照呼照行硬剉。

萬世的夏天較講嘛無應該洘，

失去你美麗的形影萬萬不可。

袂予死神畫講汝踮伊的暗影遨，

蹛不滅的詩句生湠時間奈汝何。

只要人猶佇咧喘氣，會當瞭，

詩就活咧，共你的性命點著。

〈原文〉

William Shakespeare's Sonnet 18

Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?

Thou art more lovely and more temperate:

Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,

And summer's lease hath all too short a date:

Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,

And often is his gold complexion dimm'd;

And every fair from fair sometime declines,

By chance or nature's changing course untrimm'd

But thy eternal summer shall not fade

Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest;

Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade,

When in eternal lines to time thou growest:

So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,

So long lives this and this gives life to thee.
