Song to Celia

西丽娅之歌

By Ben Jonson

本 琼森

Drink to me only with thine eyes

用你的眼神来同我干杯

And I will pledge with mine

我也用我的来为你祝酒

Or leave a kiss but in the cup

要么就只在杯中留下一个吻

And I'll not look for wine

我将不再把美酒追寻

The thirst that from the soul doth rise

那种渴望从我的灵魂升起

Doth ask a drink divine

渴望着啜饮这神圣的一杯

But might I of Jove's Nectar sup

纵然给我天神的玉液琼浆

I would not change for thine

要换取你的一滴我也不肯

I sent thee late a rosy wreath

我曾赠你玫瑰花环

Not so much honoring thee

不是为把我的敬意达传

As giving it a hope, that there

只求它把希望承载

It could not withered be

但愿它永不枯败

But thou there on did'st only breathe

你对它轻吐芳息

And sent'st it back to me

后又将它归还

Since when it grows, and smells, I swear

从此它便蓬勃，芳香

Not of itself. but thee

但我确信，是你令它这般卓越绝然
