1. He that dies in an ernest pursuit is like one that is wounded in hot blood; who, for the time, scarce feels the hurt; and therefore, a mind fixed, and bent upon somewhat that is good, does avert the dolours of death; but above all, believe it, the sweetest canticle is, nunc dimittis; when a man hath obtained worthy ends, and expectations.
一个人在热烈的追求中死，就像是在热血沸腾中受伤，这时很少感觉伤痛；因此，一个人专心致志、埋头鞠躬于某件好事，就能转移死的悲痛。
2. In second childhood she said her'Nunc Dimittis'-the sweetest canticle to the holly.
在这第二次的童年，她说出了永别的遗言，一真是对圣灵最美妙的歌颂。
3. Nunc Dimittis ad Prelude 永诀的前奏 I hurt to punish him, but who can punish me?
我以伤害来惩罚他，但谁能来惩罚我呢？
4. But, above all, believe it, the sweetest canticle is', Nunc dimittis; when a man hath obtained worthy ends, and expectations.
因此，主意一定就会全力去做某件有益的事，这种人就不会为死亡而痛苦；总而言之，相信死亡吧！
