【Lamentation of Damaris】

George Métivier (1790—1881)

          Old Fountain Street’s all in a flutter,

          Its dwellers are all in a stew,

          There is growling from garret to gutter,

          That the old must give place to the new!

          Damaris harangueth her neighbours,

          And bitterly blameth the States,

          For enacting such wide demolition

          Like aught but beneficent Fates!

        Quoth the Dame: To have live in my rat-hole,

          In quiet, for sixty-odd years!

          My blessed, old dirty, old attic,

          The hopes and my fears!

          But the poor must submit to the wealthy

          The humble must bow down to the grand,

          We had better be laid ‘neath the daises

          In the churchyard of Mister Durand!’

【《小女人的悲伤》】

农夫•夏收者(1941生—2021卒)

                老喷泉街一片混乱

                居民颤抖，

                从阁楼到排水沟都在咆哮，

                旧的必须让给新的！

                小女人哈朗格邻居们，

                痛苦地责怪当局，

                实施如此广泛的拆除

                就像善良的命运一样！

                贵妇说：住进我家老鼠洞里，

                安静生活六十多年！

                祝福、肮脏、老阁楼，

                希望与恐惧！

                但穷人必须服从富人

                卑微者须向伟人鞠躬，

                我们最好被安放在“无辜

                坚忍的墓地！”
