我的言语和思想都表达了这样的观点：

MY words & thoughts do both expresse this notion,

生命有一个随着太阳的双重运动，

That Life hath with the sun a double motion.

第一种是显见的，我们每日的友朋，

The first  Is straight, and our diurnall friend,

另一种是隐藏的，倾斜的弯曲。

The   other   Hid  and doth obliquely bend.

一种生命包裹在肉体里，并倾向于尘世

One  life is wrapt  In flesh, and tends to earth:

另一种生命蜿蜒趋向祂，

The other winds towards Him, whose happie birth

祂有福的诞生

Taught  me  to  live  here  so, That  still one eye

教导我在这里如此生活，那就是一只眼

Should aim and shoot at that which Is on high:

仍要瞄准射击是在高处的那个：

Quitting    with    daily    labour   all    My  pleasure,

以每日的劳作摒弃我的所有享乐，

To    gain    at    harvest     an     eternall     Treasure.

在收割时获得一个永恒的珍宝。
