The hare is slow and cautious; |
|
The pheasant plumps into the net. |
|
In the early part of my life, |
|
Time still passed without commotion. |
|
In the subsequent part of it, |
|
We are meeting with all these evils. |
|
I wish I might sleep and never move more. |
|
The hare is slow and cautious; |
|
The pheasant plumps into the snare. |
|
In the early part of my life, |
|
Time still passed without anything stirring. |
|
In the subsequent part of it, |
|
We are meeting with all these sorrows. |
|
I wish I might sleep and never move more. |
|
The hare is slow and cautious; |
|
The pheasant plumps into the trap. |
|
In the early part of my life, |
|
Time still passed without any call for our services. |
|
In the subsequent part of it, |
|
We are meeting with all these miseries. |
|
I would that I might sleep, and hear of nothing more. |
