天真与经验之歌[46] 给得撒
To Tirzah
给得撒
Whate'er is born of mortal birth
无论是什么诞生于肉身，
Must be consumed with the earth,
就必然被尘世消磨殆尽，
To rise from generation free:
为了要摆脱传宗接代的羁绊，
Then what have I to do with thee?
那么我与你有什么相干？
The sexes sprung from shame and pride,
两性从羞耻与骄傲中跃起，
Blowed in the morn, in evening died;
在早晨传播；在夜晚死去，
But mercy changed death into sleep;
但慈悲把死亡变成睡眠，
The sexes rose to work and weep.
两性激动且哭泣。
Thou, mother of my mortal part,
你这与我血肉相连的母亲，
With cruelty didst mould my heart,
用残酷铸造我的心。
And with false self-deceiving tears
用虚假的自欺的泪珠，
Didst blind my nostrils, eyes, and ears,
把我的鼻孔、眼睛和耳朵束缚。
Didst close my tongue in senseless clay,
用没知觉的泥巴使我噤声，
And me to mortal life betray.
把我出卖给必死的生命：
The death of Jesus set me free:
耶稣的死使我脱离了苦难，
Then what have I to do with thee?
那么我与你有什么相干？
