"“Men They hail you as their morning star Because you are the way you are. If you return the sentiment,They'll try to make you different;And once they have you, safe and sound,They want to change you all around. Your moods and ways they put a curse on;They'd make of you another person. They cannot let you go your gait;They influence and educate. They'd alter all that they admired. They make me sick, they make me tired.”"
"يُحيّونك كوكبَ الصبحِ الوضّاح، لأنك أنتَ كما أنتَ.
فإن بادلتَهم الودّ، سعوا ليُغيّروا فيكَ ما أنتَ عليه.
وما إن يظفروا بك، آمناً مطمئناً، حتى يبتغوا تبديلكَ من كلّ وجه.
يلعنون طباعكَ وسجاياكَ، ويُريدون أن يصنعوا منكَ شخصاً آخر.
لا يتركونكَ تمضي على سجيّتك، بل يُؤثّرون فيكَ ويُعلّمونك.
يُبدّلون كلّ ما أعجبهم فيكَ.
يُصيبونني بالغثيان، ويُنهكون قواي."
