Long have I known thy friendly social soul

Septimius oft experienc'd in the camp
塞普蒂米乌斯 历经军营岁月
And perilous scenes of war when side by side
与战火纷飞的险境 当我们并肩
We fought and brav'd the dangers of the field
在沙场勇闯 直面生死威胁
Dependant on each other's arm with freedom then
彼此倚靠 那时我们心意相通
I will disclose my mind I am a Christian
此刻我将坦露心迹 我是基督徒
And she who by
而她蒙受
Heaven's influential grace
上天慈悲的恩典
With pure religious sentiments inspir'd
怀着纯净虔诚的信仰热忱
My soul with virtuous love inflam'd my heart
我的灵魂被圣洁之爱点燃
Ev'n she who shame to all humanity
就连那个被世人唾弃的女子
Is now condemn'd to public lust
如今也被迫沦为欲望的祭品
No more
别再
The shame reflects too much upon thy friend
这耻辱过于玷污你挚友的名誉
The mean though duteous instrument of pow'r
权力之下卑微却尽责的傀儡
Knowing her virtues only not thy love
只知她美德 不识你深情
