Original text and translations
English text
- Time stands still with gazing on her face,
- Stand still and gaze, for minutes, hours and years to her give place.
- All other things shall change but she remains the same,
- Till heavens changed have their course and Time hath lost his name.
- Cupid doth hover up and down, blinded with her fair eyes,
- And Fortune captive at her feet contemned and conquered lies.
- Whom (when) Fortune, Love, and Time attend on,
- Her with my fortunes, love and time I honour will alone.
- If bloodless Envy say Duty hath no desert,
- Duty replies that Envy knows herself his faithful heart.
- My settled vows and spotless faith no fortune can remove,
- Courage shall show my inward faith, and faith shall try my love.
Dutch translation
- Een proeve van vertaling in het Nederlands, waarbij abstracte begrippen
- als personages van het gedicht optreden (Hij is de Tijd en Zij de Waarheid).
- Jan Wyns
- De Tijd valt stil bij d’ openhartige blik op haar gelaat,
- Houd stil en kijk, minutenlang, uren en jaren geef haar vrij baan,
- Al het andere zal vergaan doch zij blijft onveranderd voortbestaan,
- Tot elk era zijn voltooiing en Tijd zelf zijn einde vindt,
- Eros schiet vertwijfeld heen en weer,verblind door haar heldere keure,
- En het lot ligt gekneveld aan haar voeten geminachte en ontmaskerde leuge.
- Als Geluk, Liefde en Tijd Haar aandacht vrage,
- Om mijn geluk, liefde en tijd dan zweer ik vol overgave,
- Als levenloze Afgunst beweert dat Plicht geen verdienste heeft,
- Dan antwoordt Plicht standvastig dat Afgunst slechts zichzelve kent,
- Mijn plechtige gelofte en smetteloos geloof zal door geen lot gebroken worden,
- Moed zal mijn geloof sterken, en geloof mijn liefde beproeven.
