My master is a man;
that's plain to all that see him:
he looks to be a gentleman,
and, well, that may be so.
Neither old nor young,
neither ugly nor handsome,
neither peasant nor prince,
neither wealthy nor destitute.
In short, he is a prime example
of a regular man about society.

Towards women he is inclined,
as well as wine and gambling,
he loves running up debts,
though he rarely pays them off.
Though he be an ignoramus,
he criticizes and lambastes everything.
He is charming with everyone,
though he rarely loves himself.
He just wants to live his life
in peace and health.
In short, he is a prime example
of a regular man about society.
