（十四）

灵氛既告余以吉占兮，历吉日乎吾将行。折琼枝以为羞兮，精琼爢以为粻。

为余驾飞龙兮，杂瑶象以为车。何离心之可同兮？吾将远逝以自疏。

邅吾道夫昆仑兮，路修远以周流。扬云霓之晻蔼兮，鸣玉鸾之啾啾。

朝发轫於天津兮，夕余至乎西极。凤皇翼其承旗兮，高翱翔之翼翼。

忽吾行此流沙兮，遵赤水而容与。麾蛟龙使梁津兮，诏西皇使涉予。

路修远以多艰兮，腾众车使径待。路不周以左转兮，指西海以为期。

屯余车其千乘兮，齐玉轪而并驰。驾八龙之婉婉兮，载云旗之委蛇。

抑志而弭节兮，神高驰之邈邈。奏歌而舞韶兮，聊假日以愉乐。

陟升皇之赫戏兮，忽临睨夫旧乡。仆夫悲余马怀兮，蜷局顾而不行。

With omens bright the seer revealed the way,
I then appointed an auspicious day.
As victuals rare some jasper twigs I bore,
And some prepared, provision rich to store;

Then winged horses to my chariot brought
My carriage bright with jade and ivory wrought.
How might tow hearts at variance accord?
I roamed till peace be to my mind restored.

The pillar of the earth I stayed beside;
The way was long, and winding far and wide.
In twilight glowed the clouds with wondrous sheen,
And chirping flew the birds of jasper green.

I went at dawn high heaven' s ford to leave;
To earth' s extremity I came at eve.
On phoenix wings the dragon pennons lay;
With plumage bright they flew to lead the way.

I crossed the quicksand with its treach' rous flood,
Beside the burning river, red as blood;
To bridge the stream my dragons huge I bade,
Invoked the emperor of the west to aid.

The way was long, precipitous in view;
I bade my train a different path pursue.
There where the heaven fell we turned a space,
And marked the western sea as meeting-place.

A thousand chariots gathered in my train,
With axles full abreast we drove amain;
Eight horses drew the carriages behind;
The pennons shook like serpents in the wind.

I lowered flags, and from my whip refrained;
My train of towering chariots I restrained.
I sang the odes. I trod a sacred dance,
In revels wild my last hour to enhance.

Ascending where celestial heaven blazed,
On native earth for the last time we gazed;
My slaves were sad, my steeds all neighed in grief,
And, gazing back, the earth they would not leave.
