In Maximum/Robert Louis Stevenson翻訳一日目

In Maximum
Robert Louis Stevenson

WOULDST thou be free? I think it not, indeed;
But if thou wouldst, attend this simple rede:
When quite contented }thou canst dine at home
Thou shall be free when }
And drink a small wine of the march of Rome;
When thou canst see unmoved thy neighbour's plate,
And wear my threadbare toga in the gate;
When thou hast learned to love a small abode,
And not to choose a mistress A LA MODE:
When thus contained and bridled thou shalt be,
Then, Maximus, then first shalt thou be free.
貴方は自由でありたい?僕は、そうでなくていいと思う、実際。
しかし、もし貴方が、この率直な忠告に心を用いるつもりなら、
大いに満足させたら、貴方は、家で食事を摂りたくなる
貴方は、解放されるでしょう、その時
