Famed for contemptuous breach¹ of sacred ties,

查理没有头，旁边是亨利没有心——

By headless Charles see heartless Henry lies;

蔑视和背弃誓约使他出了名;

Between them stands another sceptred thing—

中间站着个手持王 杖的动物——

It moves, it reigns² — in all but name, a king:

会动，会统治——是国王，只少个名目。

Charles to his people, Henry to his wife,

他呀，对人民像查理，对妻子像亨利，

—In him the double tyrant³ starts to life:

他身上，一个双料暴君在崛起;

Justice and death have mix'd their dust in vain,

审判和死亡枉自把尸灰糅混，

Each royal vampire⁴ wakes to life again.

两个皇家吸血鬼又起死还魂。

Ah, what can tombs avail!— since these disgorge

坟墓没奈何，把他们的骨血灰渣

The blood and dust of both — to mould a George.

吐出来，捏塑成一位乔治殿下。
