Let those who are in favour with their stars
Of public honour and proud titles boast,
Whilst I, whom fortune of such triumph bars,
Unlook'd for joy in that I honour most.
Great princes' favourites their fair leaves spread
But as the marigold at the sun's eye,
And in themselves their pride lies buried,
For at a frown they in their glory die.
The painful warrior famoused for fight,
After a thousand victories once foil'd,
Is from the book of honour razed quite,
And all the rest forgot for which he toil'd:
Then happy I, that love and am beloved
Where I may not remove nor be removed.
让那些人(他们既有吉星高照)
到处夸说他们的显位和高官,
至于我,命运拒绝我这种荣耀,
只暗中独自赏玩我心里所欢。
王公的宠臣舒展他们的金叶
不过像太阳眷顾下的金盏花,
他们的骄傲在自己身上消灭,
一蹙额便足雕谢他们的荣华。
转战沙场的名将不管多功高,
百战百胜后只要有一次失手,
便从功名册上被人一笔勾消,
毕生的勋劳只落得无声无臭:
那么,爱人又被爱,我多么幸福!
我既不会迁徙,又不怕被驱逐。
