作品原文

If I can choose such power: point out the great troubadour,

Draw their magnificent portrait, and want to catch up with them --

Homer and he sang of wars and warriors -- Hector, Achilles, Eas

Or the trouble with Shakespeare was fond of Hamlet, King Lear, Osero, Tennyson,

Those beautiful women,

Incomparable rhythms and poetic wisdom, magic, and wonderful charm, plus

Singer joy, - A

All this, O sea, all this, I willing to exchange with you,

As long as you give me only a transfer of the ups and downs of the waves, its know-how,

Or, if you call on one breath of my poem,

Let your breath in my poem

作品中文

假如我能选择这样的权力：点出最伟大的行吟诗人，

画出他们壮美的肖像，并且随心所欲地赶上他们——

荷马和他所吟咏的战争及战士——赫克托、阿喀琉斯、埃阿斯

或莎士比亚的苦恼缠身的哈姆莱特、李尔王、奥赛罗，丁尼生

的那些美丽的女性，

无与伦比的节奏和巧智，奇幻的诗意，押上绝妙的韵，再加上
