Deutsche Übersetzung

Ich bin mit nichts zufrieden, unruhig und ehrgeizig ... und ich verabscheue mich für die Eitelkeit, die den halben Anreiz für meine Anstrengungen bildete. Oh, ich wäre einer dieser schlauen klugen Narren, die einmal ihre Hand auf den Pflug gelegt haben, ohne Zweifel zu zweifeln.
