《鲁拜集》新译其十八至二十一

紫云生

七绝 《鲁拜集》新译其十八至二十一

其十八

凤阁龙池乐不禁，雄狮蜥蜴漫追寻。

野驴探墓惊酣醉，踏破骷髅入梦深。

注：乐不禁者指古波斯王Jamshyd。野驴兼指波斯萨珊王朝的巴赫拉姆五世Bahram，他爱好猎杀野驴，有“野驴巴赫拉姆”之称。诗中说他在墓中反被野驴踏着头颅，仍然酒醉未醒。颇具讽意。

英文原诗XVIII

They say the Lion and the Lizard keep

The courts where Jamshyd gloried and drank deep:

And Bahram, that great Hunter--the Wild Ass

Stamps o'er his Head, but cannot break his Sleep.

其十九

纵赏玫瑰火欲燃，君王喋血化红鲜。

满庭风信销魂处，恰似佳人堕珥钿。

英文原诗XIX

I sometimes think that never blows so red

The Rose as where some buried Caesar bled;

That every Hyacinth the Garden wears

Dropt in her Lap from some once lovely Head.

其二十

乍醒河唇嫩草柔，枕眠轻倚惜芳畴。

谁家玉女唇温在，芊蔚青青忆故秋。

英文原诗XX

And this reviving Herb whose tender Green

Fledges the River-Lip on which we lean -

Ah, lean upon it lightly; for who knows

From what once lovely Lip it springs unseen!

其二十一

满盏香醅奉美人，囊时咎悔去时辛。

他朝笑我争明灭，桑海七千化劫尘。

注：古波斯人认为地球寿龄为七千岁。

英文原诗XXI

Ah, my Belovéd, fill the Cup that clears

To-day of past Regrets and future Fears -

To-morrow? - Why, To-morrow I may be

Myself with Yesterday's Sev'n Thousand Years.
