斯宾塞是文艺复兴时代的杰出诗人，其十四行诗是最富有人文主义思想的抒情诗之珍品。十四行组诗《Amoretti》多达89首，其诗内容与技巧均富特色，其中第30首，诗人把恋人比作寒冰，把自己比作烈火，其爱情之忠贞感人肺腑：

Amoretti XXX

My love is like to ice, and I to fire;
How comes it then that this her cold so great
Is not dissolved through my so hot desire,
But harder grows the more I her entreat!
Or how comes it that my exceeding heat
Is not delayed by her heart-frozen cold;
But that I burn much more in boiling sweat,
And feel my flames augmented manifold!
What more miraculous things may be told,
That fire, which all things melts, should harden ice;
And ice, which is congealed with senseless cold,
Should kindle fire by wonderful device!
Such is the power of love in gentle mind,
That it can alter all the course of kind.

爱情小诗

我的爱人像块冰，我像火一把；
那么，怎么会这样：她这块寒冰
竟不因我这火热的欲望而融化，
我越苦苦恳求她，反倒越坚硬？
又怎么会这样：我的极度热情
并没有被她冰冷的心肠所平息：
我反而热汗滚滚，烧得更起劲，
并感到我的火焰猛增不止？
还能讲什么比这更大的奇迹，
熔化一切的烈火竟使冰变坚：
而冰与麻木的冷漠凝结在一起，
通过奇妙的设计，竟把火点燃？
这就是高尚心灵中爱的力量，
它能够改变自然发展的方向。
