Goody Blake and Harry Gill

English to French, Goody Blake and Harry Gill

A poem by William Wordsworth about the power of conscience. The lesson - good deeds should be done willingly. 

Un poème de William Wordsworth sur le pouvoir de la conscience. La leçon - bonnes actions devrait être fait de plein gré.



Claquement, claquement, claquement encore!



Oh! what's the matter? what's the matter?
What is't that ails young Harry Gill?
That evermore his teeth they chatter,
Chatter, chatter, chatter still!
Of waistcoats Harry has no lack,
Good duffle grey, and flannel fine;
He has a blanket on his back,
And coats enough to smother nine.
Ô! Ce qui est faux? Ce qui est faux?
Qu'est-ce qui indispose jeune Harry Gill?
Ce toujours qui fait ses dents, comme coup de froid,
Claquement, claquement, claquement encore!
Des gilets Harry ne manque pas,
Bon duffle gris et flanelle pur;
Une couverture sur le dos, il a
De manteaux suffisamment a étouffer neuf.
