The Old Stoic"
Riches I hold in light esteem,
And love I laugh to scorn;
And lust of fame was but a dream
That vanish'd with the morn:
And if I pray, the only prayer
That moves my lips for me
Is, "Leave the heart that now I bear,
And give me liberty!"
Yes, as my swift days near their goal,
'Tis all that I implore:
In life and death a chainless soul,
With courage to endure
老斯多噶主义者 （老禁欲者）
我向来对财富不太看重，
爱情也被我视如草芥；
人生的荣誉只是一场春梦，
黎明一到便顷刻间消失。
倘若我要祷告，唯有祈祷
还能让翕动嘴唇张口：
“让心灵淡泊，远离尘嚣，
并且，赋予我绝对的自由。”
哦，当我飞驰的光阴临近末日，
我全部的恳求只有一个：
请赐予不羁的灵魂以勇气，
去耐心地穿越生死的边界。
