The Four Ages of Man
He with body waged a fight,
But body won; it walks upright.
Then he struggled with the heart;
Innocence and peace depart.
Then he struggled with the mind;
His proud heart he left behind.
Now his wars on God begin;
At stroke of midnight God shall win.
- midnight God:
A night deity is a goddess or god in mythology associated with night, the night sky, or darkness. It can also mean the god addressed in the midnight prayers of people.

Russian translationRussian (metered, poetic, rhyming)
Четыре его жизненных периода
Он с телом бился – проиграл:
Не гнулся, прямо он шагал.
Боролся с сердцем, как герой, –
Ушли невинность и покой.
Он с разумом стал воевать –
И гордость повернула вспять.
На Бога кинется вот-вот,
Но в полночь тот его прибьет.
