Let those who are in favor with their stars
且讓那些鴻運亨通的人們，
Of public honor and proud titles boast,
夸耀其高位與顯赫的虛名，
Whilst I whom fortune of such triumph bars,
我雖無緣側(cè)身幸運者之堂，
Unlooked for joy in that I honor most.
卻意外使深心的追求如愿以償。
Great princes' favourites their fair leaves spread
得寵的王臣雖能春風(fēng)得意于一時，
But as the marigold at the sun's eye,
但如金盞花隨日出日落乍開還閉，
And in themselves their pride lies buried,
一旦龍顏震怒，他們便香消玉殞，
For at a frown they in their glory die.
昔日的榮華威風(fēng)轉(zhuǎn)眼化作煙塵。
The painful warrior famoused for might,
含辛茹苦、名播沙場的將士，
After a thousand victories once foiled,
千百次征戰(zhàn)所向披靡，一朝敗績，
Is from the book of honor rased quite,
姓名便立刻從功勞薄上消逝，
And all the rest forgot for which he toiled.
從前的赫赫戰(zhàn)功再無人提起：
Then happy I that love and am beloved
而我，多幸福，既被人愛又能愛人，
Where I may not remove, nor be removed.
我堅定，別人也休想動搖我一分。
