Song to Celia
Drink to me only with thine eyes
And I will pledge with mine; Or leave a kiss but in the cup,
And I'll not look for wine.
西丽雅之歌
秋波来祝酒，我亦目相酬。
杯口留君吻，醇醪不复求。
The thirst that from the soul doth rise
Doth ask a drink divine:
But might I of Jove's Nectar sup
I would not change for thine.
灵台生渴念，唯盼圣泉流。
纵有神霄酿，岂能换凤眸。
I sent thee late a rosy wreath
Not so much honoring thee As giving it a hope, that there
It could not withered be.
尝赠玫瑰冠，非使百花羞，
寸心传夙愿，鲜艳春复秋。
But thou thereon did'st only breathe
And sent'st it back to me;
Since when it grows, and smells, I swear ,
Not of itself, but thee.
丹唇呵片萼，还我香盈袖。
吐蕊嗅花瓣，君息心底流。
译注
1. 本·琼森(1572-1637) 文艺复兴时期剧作家、诗人和演员，英国第一位桂冠诗人。这里是他送女友西莉雅的一首情诗，描写了他与心上人再次相遇经历，借物喻情，把酒杯、玫瑰与情人的吻紧密相连，独具匠心地描画出美好的初恋。全诗为四音步与三音节抑扬格并用，押双句韵每节换韵。汉译为五言仿古体，采用了符合汉读习惯的一韵到底形式。
2. pledge:(表示友谊的)干杯
3. doth rise: doth为does的古体，用来添加一个音节。
4. But might I of Jove's Nectar sup: 此句为虚拟语气，是If I might sup of Jove's Nectar的倒装句，直译: 如果我能喝到天宫的酒。
5. It could not withered be: 与上句 there 连用，原句应为It could not be withered there。
6. there on: 在那里
7. did'st 与动词原形 breathe 一起构成过去式，这里也作虚拟语气用法; 下句 sent'st 用法同理。
