O wretched man! Why lov’st thou earthly life?

Which nought enjoys, but cares and endless trouble?

What pleasure here, but breeds a world of grief?

What hour’s ease, that anguish doth not double?

No earthly joys, but have their discontents,

Then loathe that life, which causeth such laments.

 

可憐的人啊，勿眷戀塵世

生來無樂趣，舉目皆煩憂

幸福不可得，處處引傷悲

一刻不得閒，苦悶何其多

歡樂無處尋，怨懟在眼前

當憎惡生命，只留下哀痛
