ALAS, how soon the hours are over
Counted us out to play the lover!
And how much narrower is the stage
Allotted us to play the sage!
But when we play the fool, how wide
The theatre expands! beside,
How long the audience sits before us!
How many prompters! what a chorus!

I would like to translate this poem
And how much narrower is the stage Allotted us to play the sage! But when we play the fool, how wide The theatre expands! beside, very good thinking. tony
