我的生词(单词助记)

43　致亡妻|43. On His Deceased Wife

弥尔顿[1]

——John Milton

我仿佛看见我圣洁的妻子离开坟墓，[2]

Methought I saw my late espoused Saint

苍白而昏沉，来到我身边，犹如

Brought to me like Alcestis from the grave,

朱庇特之子从死神处夺回阿尔刻斯提斯，

Whom Jove’s great Son to her glad Husband gave,

交还给她那喜不自胜的丈夫。[3]

Rescu’d from death by force though pale and faint.

我的妻子已洗去产褥的污浊，

Mine as whom washt from spot of child-bed taint,

行过洁身礼，按古法获得救赎，

Purification in the old Law did save,

我还相信，当我们不再受约束，

And such, as yet once more I trust to have

在天堂重逢时，她也是那般圣洁：

Full sight of her in Heaven without restraint,

身披白袍而至，纯洁如她的心灵。

Came vested all in white, pure as her mind:

脸上蒙着纱巾，在我的幻觉中，

Her face was vail’d, yet to my fancied sight,

浑身闪耀着爱，闪耀着美和善，

Love, sweetness, goodness, in her person shin’d

喜气洋溢的样子，更无人能比。

So clear, as in no face with more delight.

正当她想要拥抱我时，我醒了，

But O as to embrace me she enclin’d

她遁去，我的白天又回到暗夜。

I wak’d, she fled, and day brought back my night.
