W. B. Yeats - Colonel Martin (III) 汉译

The Colonel met a pedlar,

Agreed their clothes to swop,

And bought the grandest jewelry

In a Galway shop,

Instead of thread and needle

put jewelry in the pack,

Bound a thong about his hand,

Hitched it on his back.

The Colonel went out sailing.

马丁上校（三）

威廉·巴特勒·叶芝

上校碰见一个小贩，

商量好彼此把衣服换调，

又在盖尔威一家店里

买了最豪华的珠宝，

并不用针线穿串，

却把珠宝放进行囊，

在他手上缠一条皮带，

把行囊搭在背上。

上校外出去航海。
