Work Text:

Cuyir, ra nu'cuyir, ibac tionas: To be, or not to be, that [is the] question:
Meh cuyi ijaa'shya o'r mirde atiniir If [it] is more honorable in [the] thoughts to endure
goore bal beviine b'ori'suumyc ka'ra, [the] throws and lances of outrageous stars
ra jurir besbe'trayce ram'or naysol uraktose, or to carry weapons to attack too many difficulties,
bal ti akaan rohakar val: ramaanar, nuhoyir and with war to defeat them: to die, to sleep
dar; bal de nuhoy, sirbur mhi kyri no more; and by sleep, to say we end
aaray be'kar'ta, bal ta'raysholan hayc nyne [the] pain of [the] heart, and [the] thousand natural hits
meg loras juri? Ibac nari that flesh carries? That act
cuyi vercopaanir par ruusaanyc. Ramaanar, nuhoyir, is to wish for devoutly. To die, to sleep,
nuhoyir, ret haa'tayli vercopase; elek, ibac chaab, to sleep, maybe see dreams; yes, that [is the] fear
jorcu o'r nuhoy be'kyr'am, tion'meg haa'ite ret olaro, because in [the] sleep of death, what visions may come,
sha ca'nara meg mhi ba'slana cuun ramaanla baare, at [the] time that we leave our mortal bodies,
enteyo dinuir bah mhi jorbe mirdir. Ibac chaab must give us a reason to think. That fear
ukoro chaashya haran'la oya pushes further [a] calamitous life
jorcu tion'ad jorso'ran nyne be duraanyc ca'nara because who shall bear [the] hits of scornful time
ne'serim narise be tsad droten, chayai b'ori'jaon'yc adate, [the] incorrect acts of the Republic, [the] teasing of self-important people,
kad'la aaray be darasuum'la kar'tayl or'paguuryc, n'iviin'yc tor, [the] sharp pain of love despised, slow justice,
duraan be te naak'ade, bal tette [the] scorn of the pacifists, and [the] kicks
meg di'kute dinui bah ruusaane, that fools give to reliable ones,
meh kaysh lise te'habir uraktose if one can remove difficulties
ti nu'hukaatyc kal? Tion'ad jorso'ran ibic'e uraktose, with an uncovered dagger? Who shall bear these difficulties,
oritsir bal onidir chur haryc oya, to curse and to sweat under tired life,
meh kaysh nu chaaba nakare suum kyr'am, if one did not fear [the] unknown things beyond death,
ibac nu'mar'ey'la uvet, teh briik be'meg that undiscovered world, from [the] line of which
naasad verd yaimpa, mirshe tioni, no warrior returns, [the] brain questions,
bal mhi jatne emuuri dushe mhi gana, and we prefer bad things we have,
bal n'eyayti at ashise meg mhi nu'kar'tayli. and don’t flee to others that we don’t know.
Mirdir gotal'u mhi an hut'uune, To think makes us all cowards,
bal jiriad sal be mirde hukaati ti nu'jahaal and [the] pale colour of thoughts covers with sickness
ge'tal sal be nasre, [the] blood-red colour of resolve
bal nare be ori'kar'ta bal ori'kando, and acts of great heart and importance,
ti mirde, val shonare amu teh jate'kara with thoughts, their waves change from [the] right course
bal dar'gana gai be nari. Luubid jii, and no longer have [the] name of action. Enough now,
ogir copyc Opelia? Mesh, gedet'ye ke'partayli there [is] lovely Ophelia? Beauty, please remember
an ner nu'serim narise ti gar suvar. all my wrong acts with your understanding.
