The purest treasure mortal times afford Is spotless reputation; that away, Men are but gilded loam, or painted clay. A jewel in a ten-times barred-up chest Is a bold spirit in a loyal breast. Mine honour is my life. Both grow in one. Take honour from me, and my life is done.
人世间最纯粹的财富是清白的名声;从这个意义上说,人不过是镀金的壤土,或彩绘的粘土。珠宝镶在十倍于珠宝的胸中,是忠诚之心的勇敢精神。我的荣誉就是我的生命。两者合而为一。夺去我的尊荣,我的生命就完结了。
