In time the savage bull sustains the yoke; In time all haggard hawks will stoop to lure; In time small wedges cleave the hardest oak, In time the flint is pierced with softest shower, And she in time will fall from her disdain, And rue the sufferance of your friendly pain.

到了一定的时候，野蛮的公牛就会扛起轭来;总有一天，所有憔悴的鹰都会俯身去引诱;迟早有一天，最坚硬的橡树会被小楔劈成两半，最柔和的雨水会把燧石打穿，她迟早会从她的鄙夷中解脱出来，为你所遭受的友好的痛苦而悔恨。
