Original text and translations

Image:English.png English text
Were I a king, might command content,
were I obscure unknown should be my cares,
and were I dead, no thoughts should me torment,
nor words, nor wrongs, nor loves, nor hopes, nor fears,
a doubtful choice of three things one to crave,
a kingdom or a cottage or a grave.
