Translation Snippet: A Poem from Jonathan Swift

in #translation • 8 years ago (edited)

’Tis an old maxim in the schools,

That flattery’s the food of fools;

Yet now and then your men of wit

Will condescend to take a bit.

(Jonathan Swift, Cadenus and Vanessa, 1713)

اندرزی قدیمی در مدرسه‌ها هست،

که چاپلوسی خوراک ابلهان است؛

با این حال، گاه مردان هوشمند

خود را بزرگ می‌نمایانند تا اندکی از آن دریافت کنند.

(جاناتان سویفت، کادِنوس و ونسا، ۱۷۱۳)
