79
甚么话哟！造物借烂铁于人
要人偿以纯金——
这是几时定下的合同？——
啊，这种交易是何等不平！
LXXIX
What! from his helpless Creature be repaid
Pure Gold for what he lent him dross-allay'd—
Sue for a Debt he never did contract,
And cannot answer—Oh the sorry trade!
80
啊，你呀，你做些陷阱蹄筌
阻塞着我徘徊的路径，
你不是四处散布魔障，
待我陷落后又加上我以罪名！
LXXX
Oh Thou, who didst with pitfall and with gin
Beset the Road I was to wander in,
Thou wilt not with Predestined Evil round
Enmesh, and then impute my Falt to Sin!
[注释]你即指上帝。此章和下章都是诅咒上帝之词。
81
啊，你呀，你用劣土造人；
在乐园中你也造出恶蛇：
人的面目为一切的罪恶所污——
你请容赦人——你也受人容赦罢！
LXXXI
Oh Thou, who Man of baser Earth didst make,
And ev'n with Paradise devise the Snake:
For all the Sin wherewith the Face of Man
Is blacken'd—Man's forgiveness give—and take!
