诗词英译：人间尤物

A mortalmasterpiece

She sits before me , an infalliblepiece .

A masterwork of bone , sinew and skin.

Defying perfection her fairest cheeks and feminine chin.

Her form craftedand carvedas a stative of ancient Greece.

Lo! I would keep her hidden , a secret held unto me

Locked awayto appease my most jealousheart

For it would cause a mortal cut if e'er we were apart

My soul she holds captive , her eyes contained the very key.

But I could not withhold such beauty such beauty from the Earth

A prisoner to my selfishness , a fate yet undeserved

Her expert shape and classical features to all should be observed

Not all the gold of all the nations could match her shine or worth

So go my ornate masterpiece

Go and share your radiantgleam

Go my Venus de Milo, my Winged Victory

And light the world with your achromicbeam
