歌词与中文翻译
fear no more the heat o the sun
nor the furious winters rages;
别再害怕骄阳的炙烤
thou thy worldly task hast done,
别再害怕隆冬的严寒
home art gone, and taen thy wages
世界的工作你已完成
golden lads and girls all must,
带上你的薪金回家
as chimney-sweepers, come to dust.
才子佳人,同归黄泉
the sceptre, learning, physic, must
如同扫烟囱的人一般
all follow this and come to dust.
王侯学者,千行百业
化为尘埃,无法逃脱
fear no more the frown o th great;
不再畏惧权贵的威力
thou art past the tyrants stroke
暴君也对你无可奈何
care no more to clothe and to eat;
不用再为衣食而忧虑
to thee the reed is as the oak.
芦苇和橡树一样结果
the sceptre, learning, physic, must
王侯学者,千行百业
all follow this and come to dust.
化为尘埃,无法逃脱
all lovers young, all lovers must
世间所有的痴男怨女
consign to thee and come to dust.
都将和你一样消亡
