O'fortune Excalibur

O Fortune, just as the moon
Stands constantly changing,
Always increasing or decreasing.
Detestable life,
Now difficult, then easy,
Deceptive sharp mind.
Poverty, power
It melts them like ice.
Monstrous fate and empty,
You whirling wheel,
Stand malevolent; well-being is vain
And fades to nothing.
Shadowed and veiled,
You plague me too.
Now through the game, my bare back
I bring to your villainy.
Fate in health and in virtue
Is now against me,
Driven on and weighted down,
Always enslaved.
So at this hour without delay
Pluck the vibrating string.
Since Fate strikes down the strong
Everyone weep with me!
