" "Şi iar cuprins de trândăvie, Cu suflet gol şi răvăşit, Se-aşază lacom el să fie De minţi străine instruit. Înşiră cărţi pe etajere, Romane seci şi efemere, Cu conţinut şi sterp şi-anost Citeşte mult şi fără rost. Dar un urât de moarte-l paşte: Ici se agită-o pocitură, Colea o nouă secătură. Femei şi cărţi îl fac să caşte; Şi peste tomurile grele, Tronând în praf, a tras perdele. Scăpând de-a lumii grea povară, Ca el, fugind de vălmăşag, M-atrase prietenia-i rară Şi chipul său atât de drag: Cu însuşirea-i spre visare Şi înclinările-i bizare; La minte rece şi tăios, Eu învrăjbit, el neguros, Ne-am potrivit în patimi jocul.

I was born for the peaceful life,
for rural quiet:
the lyre's voice in the wild is more resounding,
creative dreams are more alive.
To harmless leisures consecrated,
I wander by a wasteful lake
and far niente is my rule.
By every morn I am awakened
unto sweet mollitude and freedom;
little I read, a lot I sleep,
fugitive fame do not pursue.
Was it not thus in former years,
that I spent in inaction, in the shade,
my happiest days?
