W. B. Yeats - Closing Rhyme 汉译

While I, that reed-throated whisperer

Who comes at need, although not now as once

A clear articulation in the air,

But inwardly, surmise companions

Beyond the fling of the dull ass’s hoof,

— Ben Johnson’s phrase — and find when June is come

At Kyle-na-no under that ancient roof

A sterner conscience and a friendlier home,

I can forgive even that wrong of wrongs,

Those undreamt accidents that have made me

— Seeing that Fame has perished this long while,

Being but a part of ancient ceremony —

Notorious, till all my priceless things

Are but a post the passing dogs defile.

跋诗

威廉·巴特勒·叶芝

当我，从那嗓音似笛的低语之人——

她应急需而来，尽管如今不象从前，

一串娇声在空中历历可闻

不过在内心里，推及那些伙伴

超然远离那笨驴的蹄子的踢跳——

本•琼生的句子——并在六月到来之时

在凯尔纳诺在那古老的屋顶下找到

一个更严厉的良心和一个更友善的家时，

我甚至能够宽恕那百般侮辱的侮辱，

那些曾弄得我——看到名誉已经消逝了

这么久，不过是古老仪式的

一部分——臭名昭著的梦想不到的

意外事件，直到我所有的无价之物

都不过是一根被过路的狗弄脏了的柱子。
