Lest thou give thine honour unto others, And thy years unto the cruel:
Lest you give your honor to others and your years to those without mercy,
Lest thou give thine honor unto others, And thy years unto the cruel;
Otherwise, you will give your strength to others, your years to a cruel person.
Do not give your honor to foreigners, and your years to the cruel.
Give not thy honour to strangers, and thy years to the cruel.
