Though they were doubled, and did weigh me down Prostrate to the earth, me thinks I could rise up Erect,
看，这么多铁链，拖拽我快要趴在地上，我觉得，我还是能笔直站起来，
with nothing but the honest pride Of telling thee, usurper, to thy teeth, Thou art a monster!
不凭别的，就是坦诚地告诉你，你这个地道的篡位者，十足的怪兽！
Think upon my chains? How came they on me?
