94

诚哉，诚哉，我久已立誓忏悔——

但当我立誓时我是清醒耶非？

渐渐地渐渐地春又来了，

蔷薇在我手中时一线的悔心又断了。

XCIV

Indeed, indeed, Repentance oft before

I swore—but was I sober when I swore?

And then and then came Spring, and Rose-in-hand

My thread-bare Penitence apieces tore.

95

酒便是我的叛徒，

屡次把我“荣名的衣裳”剥去——

剥去罢，我不解卖酒之家，

何故把酒来换去半价的敝屣。

XCV

And much as Wine has play'd the Infidel,

And robb'd me of my Robe of Honour—Well,

I wonder often what the Vintners buy

One half so precious as the stuff they sell.

[注释]本节初稿有误，经闻君指出，今改正。末二句直译当为“我不解卖酒的买什么东西有他卖的货物一半贵重”。

96

但是，啊，奈阳春要和蔷薇消逝！

甘芳的青年时代的简篇要闭！

花枝里唱着歌的黄莺儿，啊，

谁知他飞自何来，又将飞向何去！

XCVI

Yet Ah, that Spring should vanish with the Rose!

That Youth's sweet-scented manuscript should close!

The Nightingale that in the branches sang,

Ah whence, and whither flown again, who knows!
