William Wordsworth - On the Final Submission of the Tyrolese 汉译

It was a moral end for which they fought;

Else how, when mighty Thrones were put to shame,

Could they, poor Shepherds, have preserved an aim,

A resolution, or enlivening thought?

Nor hath that moral good been ‘vainly’ sought;

For in their magnanimity and fame

Powers have they left, an impulse, and a claim

Which neither can be overturned nor bought.

Sleep, Warriors, sleep! among your hills repose!

We know that ye, beneath the stern control

Of awful prudence, keep the unvanquished soul:

And when, impatient of her guilt and woes,

Europe breaks forth; then, Shepherds! shall ye rise

For perfect triumph o’er your Enemies.

有感于蒂罗尔人的屈服

他们战斗是为了道义的目标；

请看，连尊贵的君王也受辱遭殃，

而这些贫苦牧民的决心、志向、

生气虎虎的雄图却毫不动摇！

他们对道义的追求决不是徒劳：

义举和威名，给后人留下了力量，

留下了感召，留下了要求和主张——

这些呵，既摧毁不掉，也收买不了！

安歇吧，勇士们！安歇于故国青山！

我们深知：你们虽收到约束，

收敛了锋芒，但灵魂并未屈服；

有一天，再不能容忍罪孽和苦难，

欧罗巴会爆发；牧民们！你们会跃起，

会大获全胜，制伏你们的仇敌。
