" "Your speech is pompous sounding, full of pride, as fits the lackey of the Gods. You are young and young your rule and you think the tower in which you live is free from sorrow: from it have I not seen two tyrants thrown? The third, who now is king, I shall yet live to see him fall, of all three most suddenly, most dishonored. Do you think I will crouch before your Gods, -so new-and tremble? I am far from that.

Şu evrende siz tanrılardan
Daha zavallısı var mı bilmem:
Kurban vergileri
Dua üfürükleriyle beslenir
Haşmetli varlığınız zar zor.
Size umut bağlayan budalalar,
Çocuklar, dilenciler olmasa
Yok olur giderdiniz çoktan.
Sen yoksa beni
Yaşamaktan bıkar mı sandın?
Kaçak çöllere giderim mi sandın
Açmıyor diye
Bütün düş tomurcukları?
Bak işte, yerli yerimdeyim;
İnsanlar yetiştiriyorum bana benzer;
Bütün bir kuşak benim gibi,
Acılara katlanacak, ağlayacak,
Gülecek, sevinecek,
Ve aldırış etmeyecek sana
Benim gibi!
