UAristotle uthe, kwaye kuyinyani ...
UAristotle uthe, kwaye kuyinyani,
Indoda isebenza izinto ezimbini: eyokuqala,
yesondlo, kwaye eyesibini yayi njalo
ukuba ilandelwe yimanyano kunye nomntu obhinqileyo othandekayo.
Ukuba nditshilo, kunokugqitywa,
kodwa ifilosofi ithi, andinakubekwa tyala.
Akufuneki sithandabuze into ethethwa yindoda elumkileyo,
kuba ubulumko bakhe bungqiniwe.
Isilumko sithi inyaniso iyangqinwa ngokucacileyo;
amadoda, iintaka neenkomo, zonke izilwanyana ezisemqolombeni
ifuna, ngendalo, inkampani entsha rhoqo
Kwaye umntu ongaphezulu komnye umntu ohambayo.
Ndiyathetha ukuba umntu ongaphezulu, kuba ezinye izidalwa
kuphela ngexesha elinye abahlangana kunye, ngokwemvelo;
umntu, ngamaxesha onke, engenangqondo kwaye engenamlinganiselo,
Nanini na xa efuna kwaye angayenza loo nto iphambeneyo.
Umlilo ukhetha ukugcinwa eluthuthwini,
ngenxa yokuba ngokukhawuleza ityiwa ngakumbi iyacinywa;
umntu, xa esona, ubona kakuhle ukuba uyatyibilika,
kodwa ngemvelo, ingena nzulu ebubini.
Mna, njengokuba ndingumntu kwaye, ke ngoko, ndingumoni,
Ndaziva ndithanda kakhulu abantu basetyhini ngamanye amaxesha.
Into yokuba sizame izinto ayisoloko imbi kakhulu;
ukwazi okuhle nokubi kwaye ukhethe okuhle.
