Кредо бедности
В политике хотел бы быть,
А твой доход не в масть;
Будь слеп и глух, глаза и слух
И тем, oтличным, — власть.
The Creed Of Poverty
In politics if thou wouldst mix,
And mean thy fortunes be;
Bear this in mind, be deaf and blind,
Let great folks hear and see.
Robert Burns
(1759 – 1796)
Примечание автора перевода
When the commissioners of Excise told Burns that he was to act, and not to think; he took out his pencil and wrote "The Creed of Poverty."
In politics if thou would'st mix,
And mean thy fortunes be;
Bear this in mind, be deaf and blind;
Let great folks hear and see.
"The Creed Of Poverty" -- "Кредо бедности".
