1. I'm told that you're infatuated with acting,
An infatuation that plays many seasons in your emotions,

2. And from excessive youth and passion,
You almost abandon food and drink,

3. You justified the impossible to yourself and so became
Immersed in gloom and turned into an invalid,

4. And the soul is content with little, so it would be best
If you made the little into plenty,

5. Theaters refuse to give you their affection,
Indeed theaters do not like the burdensome.
