Burns, Robert: Egy festőhöz (To a painter in Hungarian)

Portre of Burns, Robert

To a painter (English)

Dear -, I'll gie ye some advice,
You'll tak it no uncivil:
You shouldna paint at angels, man,
But try and paint the Devil.

To paint an angel's kittle wark,
Wi' Nick there's little danger;
You'll easy draw a lang-kent face,
But no sae weel a stranger.

Egy festőhöz (Hungarian)

Tisztelettel -, íme egy javaslat
remélem nem veszi zokon:
De jobb, ha nem angyalt pingálgat
mert most az ördög van soron.

Angyalt nehezebben ken keze,
pokolfajzattal szemernyi kockázat;
rég ismert arcát simán festi le,
de egy idegen örök rejtély marad.
