    Came across this through Inspector Morse, very much intrigued. Found out it was from Tennyson's "Lancelot and Elaine", will have to check out this "epic" poem.

Translation

كان شرفه متجذرًا في العار ، وأبقى الإيمان غير مخلصًا زائفًا.

seine Ehre, die in Unehre wurzelte, stand, und untreuer Glaube hielt ihn falsch.

lia honoro fiksiĝinta en malhonoro staris, kaj fido malfidela tenis lin falsa vera.

su honor arraigado en la deshonra se mantuvo, y la fe infiel lo mantuvo falsamente verdadero.

افتخار او که ریشه در بی احترامی ایستاده بود ، و ایمان بی دین او را به دروغ صادق نگه داشت.

son honneur enraciné dans le déshonneur se tenait, et la foi infidèle le maintenait faussement vrai.

बेईमान में निहित उसका सम्मान खड़ा था, और विश्वासहीन विश्वास ने उसे मिथ्या सत्य बना दिया।

gyalázatban gyökerező becsülete állt, és a hűtlen hit hamisan igazat adott neki.

il suo onore radicato nel disonore rimase e la fede infedele lo rese falsamente vero.

不名誉に根ざした彼の名誉が立っていて、不誠実な信仰が彼を誤って真実に保ちました。

sua honra enraizada na desonra permaneceu, e a fé infiel o manteve falsamente verdadeiro.

Его честь коренилась в бесчестии, и неверная вера поддерживала его ложную правду.

hans ära förankrad i oärlighet stod, och otro tro höll honom falskt sant.

його честь вкорінена в безчесті стояла, а віра невірних зберігала його помилково правдиво.

اس کا اعزاز بے بنیاد ہے، اور ایمان کی شفقت سے وہ باطل ثابت ہوا.

他的荣誉植根于不诚实的立场,不忠实的信仰使他错误地成为事实。
