不娶妻、不封地、不生子。我将不戴宝冠，不争荣宠。我将尽忠职守，生死於斯。我是黑暗中的利剑，长城上的守卫。我是抵御寒冷的烈焰，破晓时分的光线，唤醒眠者的号角，守护王国的坚盾。我将生命与荣耀献给守夜人，今夜如此，夜夜皆然。
Night gathers , and now my watch begins . It shal not end until my death . I shal take no wife , hold no lands , father no children . I shal wear no crowns and win no glory . I shall live and die at my post . I am the sword in the darkness . I am the watcher on the walls . I am the fire that burns against the cold , the light that brings the dawn , the horn that wakes the sleepers , the shield that guards the realms of men . I pledge my life and honor to the Night ＇ s Watch , for this night and al the nights to come .
一乔治· R · R ．马丁《冰与火之歌》( A Song of lce and Fire )，后改编成电视剧《权力的游戏》
