1 WAKE! For the Sun, who scatter'd into flight The Stars before him
from the Field of Night, Drives Night along with them from Heav'n, and
strikes The Sultan's Turret with a Shaft of
Light.
太一醒兮现曙光, 斗群星兮争锋芒, 破天穹兮消夜幕, 燃高塔兮闪辉煌。
2 Before
the phantom of False morning died, Methought a Voice within the Tavern
cried, "When all the Temple is prepared within, Why nods the drowsy
Worshipper
outside?"
夜初退兮晨未尽, 门尚闭兮声已闻; “寺庙亮兮堂阶扫, 何游梦兮可回神?”
3 And,
as the Cock crew, those who stood before The Tavern shouted -- "Open then the
Door! You know how little while we have to stay, And, once departed, may
return no more."
