Happy the man, whose wish and care

એના  પિતા તરફથી મળેલી જમીન (ખુશ છે)

 Content (satisfied) to breathe his native air, 

In his own ground.

પોતાની જમીન પર

જે વ્યક્તિ પોતાની જન્મભૂમિ ઉપર શ્વાસ લઈ શકે તે ખુદને સંતુષ્ટ માને છે. (Home ),(Food)

Whose (જેમની) herds (ટોળાં) with milk, whose fields with bread,

જેને ગાય/ ભેસ એને ટાઈમ ટુ ટાઈમ દૂધ આપે છે, અને એનું ખેતર અનાજ થી ભરેલું હોય.

 Whose flocks (ઘેટા -બકરાનું ઊન) supply him with attire, (પોશાક) 

એની પાસે રહેલા ઘેટા -બકરા એને ઉન થી બનેલા કપડા આપે છે.

Whose trees in summer yield (ઉપજ) him shade,

જ્યારે એના વૃક્ષો ગરમીના(ઉનાળામાં) સમયમાં તેને છાયુ આપે છે 

 In winter fire.

શિયાળામાં તેના લાકડાને બાળીને ગરમી મળે છે

Blest, who can unconcernedly find

જે વ્યક્તિ કોઈપણ ચિંતા કર્યા વગર જીવે છે તે વ્યક્તિ  bless છે

 Hours, days, and years slide soft

 away,

ધીરે ધીરે આરામથી પસાર થઈ રહ્યા છે

 In health of body, peace of mind, l

Quiet by day,

શારીરિક રીતે સ્વસ્થ હોય,  મગજથી શાંત હોય & શાંતિથી એના દિવસે પસાર થઈ રહ્યા હોય.

Sound sleep by night;

 study and ease, 

જેને રાતે બરોબર રીતે ઊંઘ આવતી હોય,જેનું જીવન hard work & relaxation પસાર થઈ  રહી હોય.

Together mixed; sweet recreation;

hard work & relaxation માં જીવન પસાર થઈ રહ્યું હોય,        નવું નવું સર્જન કરવામાં આનંદ અનુભવે છે

 And innocence, which most does please, With meditation.

એની અંદર simplicity,

અને purity  રહેલી છે.

Thus let me live, unseen, unknown;

હું આવી રીતના જ જીવા માગું છું,

કોઈ મને જુએ નહીં ,

અને કોઈ મને જાણે નહીં

 Thus unlamented (person who has died) let me die; 

અને જ્યારે હું મરી જાવ ત્યારે કોઈ  રડે નહીં.

Steal from the world, and not a stone Tell where I lie.

જ્યારે હું આ દુનિયાથી દૂર જતો રહું ત્યારે , મારી કબર ઉપર કોઈ પથ્થર પણ ન હોય કે જે એવું કહી શકે કે હું અહીંયા મરેલો છું

કા પછી હું જે રડું છું એ રડવાથી કોઈના ખેતરમાં . પૂર આવી ગયો છે

 When did my colds (પોલાઇટ નેચર) a forward spring remove? 

પોએટ નો જે સ્વભાવ છે  એના કારણે કોઈ ઋતુ અથવા તો સિઝન એના ટાઈમસર નહીં આવી હોય

When did the heats (ગરમ કરે છે)which my veins (નસો) fill

 કા પછી મારી નસો ની અંદર રહેલી ગરમી એ 

Add one more to the plaguy bill?

 મહામારી ને જાન લેવા બનાવી દીધો છે

Soldiers find wars, and lawyers find out still (હજુ પણ) 

સૈનિકને યુદ્ધ ગમે છે, વકીલ એવા લોકો ને શોધી લેશે છે જે વધારે લડાઈ કરે છે

Call us what you will, we are made such by love; 

તારે અમને જે કેવું હોય તે તું કે, અમને તો અમારા પ્રેમ એ આવો બનાવ્યો છે.

Call her one, me another fly.

We're tapers (પતલી કેન્ડલ )too, and at our own cost die, 

અમે મીણબત્તી છીએ, જે પોતાના જ સ્વભાવને લીધે ગળી જાય છે અથવા ખતમ થઈ જાય છે

અને અમે બંને એકબીજાની અંદર ગરુડ            ( શિકારી )અને કબૂતર ની રીતે જોઈએ છે.

The phoenix riddle(કોયડો) hath પાસે more wit (વિચારવા જેવી છે) 

આ પક્ષીનું જ્યારે મૃત્યુ થાય છે ત્યારે તે બળી જાય છે , અને વધેલી રાખ માંથી તેનો ફરી જન્મ થાય છે

By us; we two being one, are it. 

So, to one neutral (તટસ્થ  )thing both sexes fit.

અમે એવી તટસ્થ વસ્તુ બની જશો જેમાં બંનેનું શરીર એકમમાં સમાયું જશે.

We die and rise the same, and prove

આવી જ રીતે અમે મરી  જસુ અને ફરી જીવિત  થશુ

______________________________________

We can die by it, if not live by love,

જો અમે લવ ના કારણે જીવી નથી શકતા,  તો લવ ના કારણે અમે મરી  જશુ.

And if unfit for tombs (કબરો) and hearse (સાંભળવું)

અમારા મરી ગયા પછી કોઈ અમારી માટે કબર નહીં બનાવે

જરૂરી નથી કે અમારી દંત કથા બધાને સંભળાવવામાં આવશે.

Our legend (દંતકથા) be, it will be fit for verse;કવિતા

પરંતુ પોઈટરી ની અંદર અમે ફિટ થઈ  જશુ  અથવા અમે એને લાયક છીએ.

And if no piece of chronicle (historical events) we prove,

જરૂરી નથી કે અમારી માટે મોટી મોટી વાતો લખવામાં આવે

We'll build in sonnets pretty rooms;

સોનેટ ની અંદર જ અમે રૂમ બનાવી લઈશું

As well a well-wrought (સારી રીતે બનાવેલ) urn( કલશ) becomes

જેવી રીતે કોઈ સન્માનિત વ્યક્તિની અસ્થિઓ   કલર્સ માં મૂકી દેવામાં આવે છે. એવી જ રીતે અમે પણ ખુદને સન્માનિત ફીલ કરીશું 

The greatest ashes (રાખ) , as half-acre tombs,

જ્યારે અમને poetry ના સ્વરૂપમાં વાંચવામાં આવશે. જેવી રીતે સન્માનિત વ્યક્તિ  ને  હાફ એકર  ની કબ્રહમાં મૂકવામાં આવે છે

And by these hymns સ્તોત્રો, all shall approve

અને આ બધી poems,  રીડર આપણને કેનોનાઈ એપ્રૂવ કરશે.

Us canonized for Love.

સાચા લવ ના કારણે સંત બની ગયા છે.

______________________________________

😌And thus invoke us: "You, whom reverend આદરણીય love

રીડર આપણને બોલાવશે અથવા તો યાદ કરશો "તેઓ આપણા લવને આદર થી યાદ કરશો

Made one another's hermitage;સંન્યાસી

તમે એકબીજા માટે સંન્યાસી બની ગયા હતા

You, to whom love was peace, that now(હાલનો સમય) is rage;(angry) 

તમે બંને જીવિત હતા ત્યારે તમારો લવ શાંતિનો પ્રતીક હતો જ્યારે હવે તે ગુસ્સા નું કારણ બની ગયું છે.

Who did the whole world's soul contract કરાર, and drove ચલાવ્યું

આ દુનિયાની જે બધી આત્માઓ છે તે પ્યોર રહી નથી

Into the glasses of your eyes

(So made such mirrors, and such spies,જાસૂસો 

That they did all to you epitomize be a perfect example)

અને તે તારો લવ આ દુનિયામાં એવી રીતે ફેલાવ્યો છે કે લોકો  તેની જેમ લવ કરવા માંગે છે આ એક આદર્શ લવ હતો  જુદી જુદી જગ્યાએ જાસુ  love ગોતી રહ્યા છે,  અરીસામાં સાચો લવ શોધી શક. 

Countries, towns, courts: beg from above A pattern of your love!"

દેશ શહેર અને કોર્ટ બધા લોકો મન્નત માને  તમારી જે લવ કરવાની પેટર્ન છે  એને અમે ફોલો કરવા માગીએ છીએ.

3.2 Modes of Formal Presentation :-

3.2 Modes ઢબ of Formal Presentation :-     

Modes of formal presentation refer to different styles or formats used to deliver information or communicate ideas in a structured and professional manner. These modes can include presentations, reports, essays, speeches, and other formal methods of conveying information to an audience. Each mode has its own conventions,સભા  purposes, and appropriate contexts for use.

 (Extemporaneous, Impromptu, Manuscript, and Memorization)  

1. **Extemporaneous**: Talking without a script, using your knowledge on the spot.

2. **Impromptu**: Speaking without preparation, relying on your immediate તાત્કાલિક thoughts.

3. **Manuscript**: Reading from a written text word-for-word.

4. **Memorization**: Recalling information from memory, without notes or prompts. 

1. **Extemporaneous**: This is when you speak without a fully prepared script but with some prior પહેલા planning and knowledge about the topic. You might have key points or an outline to guide you, but you're essentially speaking off the cuff,(not prepared in advance ) relying on your understanding of the subject and your ability to articulate your thoughts in the moment.( camp fire 🔥) 

Imagine you're asked to give a presentation on your favorite hobby. You've thought about what you want to say and maybe even made some notes, but you're not reading from a script. Instead, you talk naturally, using your knowledge and passion for the topic to guide you. You might share stories, facts, and personal experiences, all while speaking in a relaxed and conversational manner.

2. **Impromptu**: Impromptu presentations are completely spontaneous. You're given a topic or question on the spot and asked to speak about it without any prior notice or preparation. It requires quick thinking and the ability to organize your thoughts on the fly. ( on the spot) 

Picture yourself at a party, and someone asks you to talk about the latest movie you watched. You didn't prepare for this, but you dive right in, અંદર ડૂબકી મારવી sharing your thoughts on the plot, characters, and what you liked or didn't like. You're thinking on your feet, drawing on your immediate impressions and opinions to engage in a spontaneous conversation about the film.

3. **Manuscript**: In a manuscript presentation, you write out your entire speech beforehand અગાઉથી and then read it word-for-word during the presentation. This method ensures that you stick to your prepared content precisely ચોક્કસ but may come across as less natural or engaging since you're essentially reading aloud.

Suppose you're giving a speech at a formal event, like a graduation ceremony. You've written out your entire speech beforehand, carefully crafting each sentence and paragraph. When you step up to the podium, you read directly from your written notes, ensuring that you cover all the key points and deliver your message precisely as you intended.

   

4. **Memorization**: Memorization involves learning your presentation word-for-word and delivering it from memory without any notes or prompts. This method can be effective for ensuring that you deliver your content exactly as planned, but it requires significant rehearsal and may feel less spontaneous  compared to  impromptu speaking.

   Think about a school play where you have a role with lines to memorize. You spend weeks practicing your part until you know it by heart. When the time comes for the performance, you step onto the stage and recite your lines flawlessly, without any hesitation or need for cues. You've memorized every word, allowing you to deliver a polished and confident performance.
