AURELIA.
En kærlig trøst er stedse kvindens sag,
kan hun end ej, som du, om storhed drømme.
Når manden kæmper for sin stolte drøm,
og al hans løn er skuffelse og kummer, –
da lyder hendes tale blid og øm,
og dysser ind ham i en kvægsom slummer;
da fatter han at og det stille liv
har glæder, som den vilde tummel savner.
AURELIA.
To comfort is the role of every wife,
Though dreams of greatness she may never cherish.
When the man, struggling for his lofty dream,
Reaps nothing but adversity and sorrow,--
Her words to him then sweet and tender seem,
And give him strength sufficient for the morrow;
And then he sees that even the quiet life
Has pleasures which the most tumultuous lacks.
