Be not afeard; the isle is full of noises,
Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices
That, if I then had waked after long sleep,
Will make me sleep again: and then, in dreaming,
The clouds methought would open and show riches
Ready to drop upon me that, when I waked,
I cried to dream again.

不要怕；這島上充滿(mǎn)了各種聲音和悅耳的樂(lè)曲，
使人聽(tīng)了愉快，不會(huì)傷害人。
有時(shí)成千的叮叮咚咚的樂(lè)器在我耳邊鳴響。
有時(shí)在我酣睡醒來(lái)的時(shí)候，
聽(tīng)見(jiàn)了那種歌聲，又使我沉沉睡去；
那時(shí)在夢(mèng)中便好像云端里開(kāi)了門(mén)，
無(wú)數(shù)珍寶要向我傾倒下來(lái)；
當(dāng)我醒來(lái)之后，我簡(jiǎn)直哭了起來(lái)，希望重新做一遍這樣的夢(mèng)。
