Original text and translations
English text
- Compare me to the child that plays with fire,
- or to the fly that dieth in the flame,
- or to the foolish boy, that did aspire,
- to touch the glory of high heaven’s frame.
- No man to these me fitly can compare,
- these live to die, I die to live in care.
