She shall decide whose woes are least or worst,
And which, as growler, shall rank last or first.

Graut Euch nicht, Ihr lieben Leute,
Vor dem ungeheuren Morgen;
Wenn es kommt, es ist das Heute,

Thou hadst abounding store
Of heaven's eternal jewels,
Beloved; what wouldst thou more?

And this love heavier than a lakes ripe fruit
Without laughter or tears lasts forever
One day after another one night after us.
