Good people all, with one accord, 善良的人，异口同声，
Lament 1 for Madam Blaize, 哀悼，布莱兹夫人，
Who never wanted a good word—From those who spoke 2 her praise. 生前，她不在意任何褒奖，尽管，他们发自内心称赞。
The needy 3 seldom passed her door, 穷人，很少从她的门前走过，
And always found her kind; 她心地善良，济贫扶弱，
She freely lent to all the poor—Who left a pledge behind. 她施舍众生，为人慷慨，借贷者，甚至只留下极少许诺。
She strove the neighborhood to please, 她竭尽所能，造福乡梓，
With manner wondrous 4 winning: 心有谋略，变通灵活，
She never followed wicked ways—Unless when she was sinning. 她为人坦荡，不耍诡计，除非，偶尔难以顾及。
At church, in silks and satin new, 教堂里，那些豪绅贵妇，
With hoop 5 of monstrous 6 size, 绫罗绸缎，裙裾飘飞，
She never slumbered 7 in her pew—But when she shut her eyes. 她闭上眼睛，聆听诵经，却从不曾经，打盹走神。
Her love was sought, I do aver 8, 她追求者甚众，我敢断定，
By twenty beaux and more; 那些人百般追求，倾心思慕，
The king himself has followed her—When she has walked before. 她娉婷袅娜，走在街上，即便国王，亦趋尊随后。
But now, her wealth and finery fled, 如今，她财富散尽美貌不再，
Her hangers-on cut short all, 那些追随者，日渐稀疏，
Her doctors found, when she was dead—Her last disorder 9 mortal. 待最后离世，医生才发现，她身体衰竭，难以挽救。
Let us lament, in sorrow sore; 悲哀深深，无以表述，
For Kent Street well may say, 那条肯特大街，或许见证，
That, had she lived a twelvemonth more—She had not died today. 她多活一年，该有多好，否则不会遗憾，她走得太早。
