訳詩鑑賞『ルバイヤート』（1）

Edward Fitzgerald "Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám"
矢野峰人訳　『四行詩集』から

	第一歌 めざめよ、朝が夜の坏つきに 石擲てば星は散り、 見よ、東ひんがしの猟人かりうどの 羂わなはとらへぬ宮居をば。
1 AWAKE! for Morning in the Bowl of Night Has flung the Stone that puts the Stars to Flight: And Lo! the Hunter of the East has caught The Sultán's Turret in a Noose of Light.
	第二歌 まだ明けやらぬしののめに 旗亭のなかの声は言ふ ― 「さめよ、人の子、みたせ坏つき、」 生命いのちの酒のつきぬ間に。」
2 Dreaming when Dawn's Left Hand was in the Sky I heard a voice within the Tavern cry, "Awake, my Little ones, and fill the Cup Before Life's Liquor in its Cup be dry."
