Original text and translations
English text
In deep distress to live without delight,
were such a life as few, as few I think would crave.
In pangs and pains to languish day and night,
were too, too much for one poor soul to have.
If weal and woe will thus continue strife,
a gentle death were good to cut off such a life.
