W. B. Yeats - The Saint and the Hunchback 汉译

Hunchback. Stand up and lift your hand and bless  

A man that finds great bitterness  

In thinking of his lost renown.  

A Roman Caesar is held down  

Under this hump.      

Saint. God tries each man  

According to a different plan.  

I shall not cease to bless because  

I lay about me with the taws  

That night and morning I may thrash  

Greek Alexander from my flesh,  

Augustus Caesar, and after these  

That great rogue Alcibiades.  

Hunchback. To all that in your flesh have stood  

And blessed, I give my gratitude,  

Honoured by all in their degrees,  

But most to Alcibiades.
