歌词与中文翻译
Let those who are in favour with their stars
让那些鸿运亨通的人们
Of public honour and proud titles boast,
到处夸耀他们的显位和高官，
Whilst I, whom fortune of such triumph bars,
至于我，命运拒绝我这种荣耀，
Unlook'd for joy in that I honour most.
却意外使我深心的追求如愿以偿。
Great princes' favourites their fair leaves spread
得宠的王臣虽能春风得意于一时,
But as the marigold at the sun's eye,
但如金盏花随日出日落乍开还闭，
And in themselves their pride lies buried,
他们的骄傲在自己身上消灭，
For at a frown they in their glory die.
一蹙额便足雕谢他们的荣华。
The painful warrior famoused for fight,
含辛茹苦、名博沙场的将士，
After a thousand victories once foil'd,
千百次征战所向披靡, 一朝败绩，
Is from the book of honour razed quite,
便立刻从功名册上消逝，
And all the rest forgot for which he toil'd:
从前的赫赫战功落的无声无息：
Then happy I, that love and am beloved
而我，多么幸福, 既爱人又被爱，
Where I may not remove nor be removed.
我坚定，别人也休想动摇我一分。
