People fool ourselves in this world;
Chasing after shadows
So numerous are they that often,
We cannot count the number.

Let us look at the dog of which Aesop speaks.

This dog, seeing his prey1 reflected in the water,
Dropped it for its image and nearly drowned himself.
The river became roiled2 up
And the dog barely made it back to the banks,
Having lost both the reflection and his prey.

=============================================

    Le Chien qui lâche sa proie pour l'ombre

Chacun se trompe ici-bas.
On voit courir après l'ombre
Tant de fous, qu'on n'en sait pas
La plupart du temps le nombre.
Au Chien dont parle Esope il faut les renvoyer.
Ce Chien, voyant sa proie en l'eau représentée,
La quitta pour l'image, et pensa se noyer ;
La rivière devint tout3 d'un coup4 agitée.
A toute peine il regagna les bords,
Et n'eut ni l'ombre ni le corps5.
