Tekst piosenki
When in disgrace with fortune and men’s eyes,
I all alone beweep my outcast state,
And trouble deaf Heaven with my bootless cries,
And look upon myself, and curse my fate,
Wishing me like to one more rich in hope,
Featur’d like him, like him with friends possess’d,
Desiring this man’s art, and that man’s scope,
With what I most enjoy contented least:
Yet in these thoughts myself almost despising,
Haply I think on thee,--and then my state
(Like to the lark at break of day arising
From sullen earth) sings hymns at heaven’s gate;
For thy sweet love remember’d such wealth brings
That then I scorn to change my state with kings'.
Tłumaczenie tekstu piosenki
Kiedy w hańbie z fortuny i ludzkich oczu,
I all alone beweep my outcast state,
I trouble deaf Heaven with my bootless cries,
I patrzeć na siebie, i przeklinać mój los,
Wishing me like to one more rich in hope,
Featur ' d like him, like him with friends,
Pragnąc sztuki tego człowieka i jego zakresu,
Z tym, co najbardziej lubię zadowolone najmniej:
Jednak w tych myślach prawie gardzę,
Haply I think on thee, -- and then my state
(Like to the lark at break of day
From sullen earth) sings hymns at heaven ' s gate;
For thy sweet love remember ' d such wealth brings
Że pogardzam tym, że zmieniam swój stan z królami.
