Enlarge my life with multitude of days, In health, in sickness, thus the suppliant prays; Hides from himself his state, and shuns to know, That life protracted is protracted woe. Time hovers o’er, impatient to destroy, And shuts up all the passages of joy.

求你使我一生的年日，无论是健康的年日，是疾病的年日，都广加增我的寿数。对自己隐藏自己的状态，并回避知道，生命的延长是延长的悲哀。时间一晃而过，迫不及待地要毁灭一切，关闭了所有欢乐的通道。
