61
啊，酒浆若是帝之所生，
谁敢把蜷屈的卷须咒成陷阱？
天赐的福祐，当受的可不受么？
若是祸灾——试问谁为此祸？
LXI
Why, be this Juice the growth of God, who dare
Blaspheme the twisted tendril as a Snare?
A Blessing, we should use it, should we not?
And if a Curse—why, then, Who set it there?
62
我若为莫须有的“来世的果报”所惊，
或为“神酒的希望”所诱，
我定要，定要断此“生命的灵浆”
——但要等我死了的时候！
LXII
I must abjure the Balm of Life, I must,
Scared by some After-reckoning ta'en on trust,
Or lured with Hope of some Diviner Drink,
To fill the Cup—when crumbled into Dust!
[注释]来世的果报（After-reckoning）：回教以为今世行禁欲生活，来世得生天堂，有美女与醇酒为乐。反是者则落地狱。
63
啊，地狱之威胁，天堂之希望！
只有一事是真——便是生之飞丧；
只有此事是真，余皆是伪；
花开一次之后永远凋亡。
LXIII
Othreats of Hell and Hopes of Paradise!
One thing at least is certain—This Life flies;
One thing is certain and the rest is lies;
The Flower that once has blown for ever dies.
