I had no time to hate, because

I had no time to hate, because

I had no time to hate, because
The grave would hinder me,
And life was not so sample I
Could finish enmity.

Nor had I time to love, but since
Some industry must be,
The little toil¹ of love, I thought,
Was large enough for me.

我没有时间憎恨

我没有时间憎恨，因为
坟墓会将我阻止，
而生命并非如此简单
能使我敌意终止。

我也没时间去爱，
仅因为必须有点勤奋，
我以为爱的那少许辛苦
对我已是足够莫大难忍。
