شعر

A man of no Music

The man that hath no music in himself,

Nor is not mov’d with concord of  sweet sounds,

Is fit for treasons, stratagems, and spoils;

The motions of his spirit are dull as night,             And his affections dark as Erebus;

Let no such man be trusted

Shakespeare, The Merchant of Venice, V, I

 

انسانى كه در دلش نغمه و آهنگى نيست،

يا از نغمه و آهنگ به وجد نمى آيد،

 قرين خدعه و جنايت و تجاوز و غارت است؛

روحش، چون شب، سياه و ملال انگيز،

ودلش، چون شيطان، تيره وظالمانى است؛

چنين انسانى را هرگز اعتماد نشايد كرد.
