英文中译
I, with whose colours Myra dress’d her head,我,用她的色彩为迈拉1梳妆,
I, that ware posies of her own hand-making,我,戴着她亲手编织的花束,
I, that mine own name in the chimneys read我,看到烟囱里写着我的名字,
By Myra finely wrought ere I was waking:在我醒来之前,这束花就由迈拉精心制作:
Must I look on, in hope time coming may难道我必须等待,希望时光能
With change bring back my turn again to play?回转,重回昔日欢愉?
I, that on Sunday at the church-stile found我,礼拜天在教堂的台阶上发现了
A garland sweet, with true-love knots in flowers,一个甜蜜的花环,上面结满了真爱的花结,
Which I to wear about mine arm was bound,我把它戴在臂上,
That each of us might know that all was ours:好让我们每个人都知道一切都是我们的:
Must I now lead an idle life in wishes,难道我如今要在渴望中虚度,
And follow Cupid for his loaves and fishes?追随丘比特去寻找他的饼和鱼2?
I, that did wear the ring her mother left,我,戴着她母亲留下的戒指,
I, for whose love she gloried to be blamed,我,她曾因我的爱而自鸣得意,
I, with whose eyes her eyes committed theft,我,目光与她目光交窃,
I, who did make her blush when I was named:我,当我被提起时,她就羞红:
Must I lose ring, flowers, blush, theft, and go naked,难道我就要丢掉戒指,丢掉鲜花,脸红,交窃,赤身裸体,
Watching with sighs till dead love be awaked?长叹守望,直到死去的爱被唤醒?
I, that, when drowsy Argus fell asleep,我,当昏昏欲睡的阿尔戈斯3沉睡时,
Like jealousy o’erwatched with desire,就像嫉妒被欲望笼罩,
Was even warned modesty to keep,甚至被告诫要保持谦逊,
While her breath, speaking, kindled Nature’s fire:而她的气息,如同言辞,点燃了自然之焰:
Must I look on a-cold, while others warm them?难道我就要冷眼旁观,而别人却温暖着他们?
Do Vulcan’s brothers in such fine nets arm them?难道火神的兄弟们4用如此精致的网自缚?
Was it for this that I might Myra see难道是为了这个,我才得见迈拉
Washing the water with her beauties white?用她洁白的美丽洗涤清泉?
Yet would she never write her love to me.然而她却从未以情寄我。
Thinks wit of change, while thoughts are in delight?思绪愉悦之时,却思虑生变?
Mad girls must safely love as they may leave;狂女必安心​​去爱,随时离去;
No man can print a kiss: lines may deceive.无人能印一个唇吻:文字欺心。

The nurse-life wheat within his green husk growing,守护生命的麦穗在碧绿的壳里茁壮成长,
Flatters our hope, and tickles our desire,点亮了我们的希望,撩拨了我们的欲望,
Nature’s true riches in sweet beauties showing,大自然的真正珍宝在甜美中展现,

And your ripe year’s love-noon; he goes no higher,你年岁的正午;他不再高行,
Turns all the spirits of man into desire.将人心全数转为欲望。

The Tragedy of Mustapha(穆斯塔法悲歌)6

英文中译
Oh, wearisome condition of humanity,哦,让人烦乱的人类,
Born under one law, to another bound;生于一个律下,却又受制于另一个律;
Vainly begot, and yet forbidden vanity,徒然受生,却又不让虚荣;
Created sick, commanded to be sound.生于病态,却又叫他健全。
What meaneth nature by these diverse laws?自然设下重重律法,是什么意思?
Passion and reason self-division cause.激情与理性成为分裂之因。
It is the mark or majesty of power权力的标志或威严,
To make offences that it may forgive;在于犯下罪孽,或可得到赦免;
Nature herself doth her own self deflower,自然她也在摧残自己,
To hate those errors she herself doth give.在于恨恶自身所播下的错误。
For how should man think that he may not do,因为,如果自然没有辜负并惩罚,
If nature did not fail and punish too?人类又怎能认为自己不会犯错?
Tyrant to others, to herself unjust,对人暴虐,对己不义,
Only commands things difficult and hard,只命令些艰难困苦,
Forbids us all things which it knows is lust,一切它知是欲望之事都禁止我们做,
Makes easy pains, unpossible reward.使痛苦变得轻而易举,令回报几近无望。
If nature did not take delight in blood,若自然不以血为乐,
She would have made more easy ways to good.她本可开辟更多通往善的安逸道路。
We that are bound by vows and by promotion,我们这些受誓言和名望所束缚的人,
With pomp of holy sacrifice and rites,以盛大的圣祭和仪式,
To teach belief in good and still devotion,去教人信善守静,
To preach of heaven’s wonders and delights:去传扬天堂的奇妙与喜悦:
Yet when each of us in his own heart looks然而,当我们每个人用心去追寻,
He finds the God there far unlike his books.他发现那里的上帝远非书本能比。

Fie, foolish earth…|呸,愚昧的大地

英文中译
Fie, foolish earth, think you the heaven wants glory呸,愚昧的大地,你以为天堂想要你的荣耀?
Because your shadows do yourself benight?因为你的影子让自己陷入黑暗?
All’s dark unto the blind, let them be sorry;对盲人来说,一切都是黑暗,让他们哀伤吧;
But love still in herself finds her delight.但爱情仍然在自身中找到了欢愉。
Fie, fond desire, think you that love wants glory呸,贪婪的欲望,你以为爱想要你的荣耀?
Because your shadows do yourself benight?因为你的影子让自己陷入黑暗?
The hopes and fears of lust may make men sorry,欲望的希望与恐惧,或许会让人惆怅,
The heavens in themselves are ever bright.天堂自有光辉。
Then earth, stand fast, the sky that you benight大地啊,请坚守,你遮蔽的天空,
Will turn again and so restore your glory;终将回转,重现你的荣耀;
Desire, be steady, hope is your delight,欲望啊,请坚守,希望是你的喜悦,
An orb wherein no creature can be sorry,一个无受造物能忧伤的天体,
Love being placed above these middle regions爱被置于这中天之上,
Where every passion wars itself with legions.在那里,每一种激情都与大军作战。

  1. “迈拉”(Myra)是格雷维尔在诗中提及的一位爱人,但没有任何迹象表明她是一个真实存在的人,这个名字可能是随意使用的,或者与“凯丽卡”和“辛西娅”互换使用。因此,迈拉很可能是格雷维尔情诗中一位虚构或象征性的爱人,而非历史上特定的人物。 ↩︎
  2. “追随丘比特,寻找他的面包和鱼”意味着爱人现在追求的是爱情带来的物质或世俗利益,而不是它曾经提供的精神和情感丰裕。这句话暗指圣经中耶稣用五饼二鱼喂饱众人的奇迹。诗人哀叹他与迈拉的关系已沦为一种物质至上的空洞追求。他们不再关乎丘比特所象征的纯洁爱情,而是关乎“面包和鱼”——一段感情中空洞的物质回报。耶稣后来批评了那些为了食物的世俗利益而不是为了更深层次的信仰而追随他的人群,这使得这句话带有追求利润或个人利益的含义。
    耶稣回答说:“我实实在在地告诉你们,你们找我,并不是因见了神迹,乃是因吃饼得饱。(约翰福音 6:26 和合本) ↩︎
  3. 希腊神话中的百眼怪物 ↩︎
  4. 火神伏尔甘(Vulcan):罗马神话中掌管火焰、金属加工和火山的神。他的兄弟:他的同胞兄弟包括战神马尔斯(Mars)和战女神贝罗娜(Bellona),他的妹妹是尤文图斯(Juventus)。通过他的父亲朱庇特(Jupiter),他还有许多同父异母的兄弟姐妹,例如墨丘利(Mercury)和米涅瓦(Minerva)。 ↩︎
  5. 凯丽卡是诗中收信人的名字,尽管它可能被随意地与迈拉(Myra)和辛西娅(Cynthia)等其他名字混用。诗歌基金会表示,这些诗歌以哲学的方式探讨了爱情和自我的主题,超越了通常只关注一个爱人的概念,“凯莉卡”这个名字在诗集中代表了更广泛的情妇形象。富尔克·格雷维尔的《凯丽卡》是一首复杂且极具突破传统的伊丽莎白时代十四行诗,探讨了从世俗且往往充满欺骗的人类之爱到神圣的精神之爱的演变过程。这109首诗并非是对情妇的颂歌,而是记录了一段远离人类欲望易变性、追寻上帝永恒真理的哲学和神学之旅。 ↩︎
  6. 《穆斯塔法悲歌》是指富尔克·格雷维尔(1609年)的英国历史悲剧,改编自奥斯曼帝国王子穆斯塔法被处决的真实故事,以批判英国的政治问题,尤其是继承危机和外国影响。穆斯塔法是一位历史上的奥斯曼帝国王子,是苏丹苏莱曼大帝的儿子。1541年,他被继母罗克索拉娜(即许蕾姆苏丹)勒死,以确保自己儿子的王位继承权。 ↩︎

格雷维尔 Fulke Greville|简介

富尔克·格雷维尔(Fulke Greville, 1st Baron Brooke (1554 – 1628),第一代布鲁克男爵,是伊丽莎白时代的诗人、剧作家和政治家,曾在1581年至1621年间多次在下议院任职,后晋升为贵族。

格雷维尔是一位能干的行政官员,在伊丽莎白一世和詹姆斯一世时期为英国王室效力,先后担任海军财务大臣、财政大臣和财政部专员。1621年,他因其杰出的贡献被封为布鲁克男爵,成为英国贵族。1604年,格雷维尔被授予沃里克城堡,并对城堡进行了多项改建。如今,格雷维尔最为人熟知的是他为菲利普·西德尼爵士撰写的传记,以及他朴素的诗歌,这些诗歌对艺术、文学、美和其他哲学问题提出了深刻的见解。
