[00:04]	Hear now a curious dream I dreamed last night
[00:06]	Each word whereof is weighed and sifted truth.
[00:11]	I stood beside Euphrates while it swelled
[00:16]	Like overflowing Jordan in its youth:
[00:18]	It waxed and coloured sensibly to sight;
[00:20]	Till out of myriad pregnant waves there welled
[00:24]	Young crocodiles, a gaunt blunt-featured crew,
[00:28]	Fresh-hatched perhaps and daubed with birthday dew.
[00:32]	The rest if I should tell, I fear my friend
[00:36]	My closest friend would deem the facts untrue;
[00:38]	And therefore it were wisely left untold;
[00:42]	Yet if you will, why, hear it to the end.
[00:51]	Each crocodile was girt with massive gold
[00:55]	And polished stones that with their wearers grew:
[00:59]	But one there was who waxed beyond the rest,
[01:01]	Wore kinglier girdle and a kingly crown,
[01:05]	Whilst crowns and orbs and sceptres starred his breast.
[01:10]	All gleamed compact and green with scale on scale,
[01:14]	But special burnishment adorned his mail
[01:16]	And special terror weighed upon his frown;
[01:19]	His punier brethren quaked before his tail,
[01:22]	Broad as a rafter, potent as a flail.
[01:28]	So he grew lord and master of his kin:
[01:32]	But who shall tell the tale of all their woes?
[01:36]	An execrable appetite arose,
[01:37]	He battened on them, crunched, and sucked them in.
[01:40]	He knew no law, he feared no binding law,
[01:43]	But ground them with inexorable jaw:
[01:45]	The luscious fat distilled upon his chin,
[01:47]	Exuded from his nostrils and his eyes,
[01:49]	While still like hungry death he fed his maw;
[01:54]	Till every minor crocodile being dead
[01:56]	And buried too, himself gorged to the full,
[02:01]	He slept with breath oppressed and unstrung claw.
[02:08]	Oh marvel passing strange which next I saw:
[02:12]	In sleep he dwindled to the common size,
[02:15]	And all the empire faded from his coat.
[02:20]	Then from far off a wingèd vessel came,
[02:23]	Swift as a swallow, subtle as a flame:
[02:25]	I know not what it bore of freight or host,
[02:28]	But white it was as an avenging ghost.
[02:31]	It levelled strong Euphrates in its course;
[02:34]	Supreme yet weightless as an idle mote
[02:37]	It seemed to tame the waters without force
[02:39]	Till not a murmur swelled or billow beat:
[02:44]	Lo, as the purple shadow swept the sands,
[02:46]	The prudent crocodile rose on his feet
[02:50]	And shed appropriate tears and wrung his hands.
[02:53]	What can it mean? you ask. I answer not
[02:57]	For meaning, but myself must echo,
[03:04]	And tell it as I saw it on the spot

[00:04]	Hear now a curious dream I dreamed last night
[00:06]	Each word whereof is weighed and sifted truth.
[00:11]	I stood beside Euphrates while it swelled
[00:16]	Like overflowing Jordan in its youth:

[02:53]	What can it mean? you ask. I answer not
[02:57]	For meaning, but myself must echo,
[03:04]	And tell it as I saw it on the spot

[00:04]	恳请你聆听昨夜我的奇异梦境
[00:06]	我必字斟句酌绝无轻言戏语
[00:11]	幼发拉底潮涨之时我伫立于旁
[00:16]	像年轻的约旦河它涌动着
[00:18]	给自己涂蜡上色以致显明易见
[00:20]	直到从无尽怀胎的浪潮中喷涌而出
[00:24]	年轻的鳄鱼群瘦削又迟钝的列队
[00:28]	或许刚获新生还留有降生时露水的痕迹
[00:32]	而我将接着叙述的恐怕我的朋友
[00:36]	我最最亲爱的朋友也会以为我在胡言乱语
[00:38]	而接下来的话语也将会湮没于我的沉默之中
[00:42]	但若是若是你愿意聆听！有何不可？何不听到最后
[00:51]	每只鳄鱼都佩戴着黄金巨大的黄金腰带
[00:55]	还有打磨光滑的石头它们（石头与黄金）与佩戴者一起成长
[00:59]	但在那之中有着一只与众不同
[01:01]	他身着更加华丽的腰带戴着一顶属于国王的皇冠
[01:05]	皇冠、珠宝和权杖如星辰般闪耀在它胸前
[01:10]	反射在紧实而苍绿的鳞片上光影迷蒙
[01:14]	而他的信函经特殊打磨抛光装饰
[01:16]	他的蹙额有着奇异的威慑
[01:19]	他孱弱的同族在他的尾前战栗不已
[01:22]	脊背宽广如椽条摆尾刚劲如连枷
[01:28]	所以他是王是神是一族之长
[01:32]	但谁又能言说同族们所有蕴藏悲哀的故事：
[01:36]	一股肮脏可恨的食欲袭来
[01:37]	他饲养他的族人而后又嚼碎吞吃掉它们吮干抹净
[01:40]	他不知法为何物没有法律可以约束他
[01:43]	反而用无情的下颚阻挡埋葬一切
[01:45]	美味可口的脂肪顺着他的下颌滴落
[01:47]	再从他的鼻孔和眼睛分泌出去
[01:49]	然而饥饿使他发狂
[01:54]	填满那无底洞般的胃直到所有下等鳄鱼都已死去
[01:56]	且埋葬；他狼吞虎咽饱腹一餐
[02:01]	带着压抑的呼吸和不安分的爪子睡去
[02:08]	噢我看到奇事却接着发生
[02:12]	在睡梦中他缩成了普通大小
[02:15]	一切君王的象征从他的外套上褪色消逝
[02:20]	而一艘带有双翼的船舶来临
[02:23]	迅捷如轻燕精巧如火花
[02:25]	我并不知晓它是厌倦了货物还是无聊的主人
[02:28]	但它苍白如复仇的鬼魂
[02:31]	来路它唤起汹涌的幼发拉底
[02:34]	至高无上却又轻如尘埃
[02:37]	它却似乎驯服这波涛不费气力
[02:39]	水花逐渐安静浪潮停止翻腾
[02:44]	看哪！紫色暗影蔓延过群沙
[02:46]	这精明狡猾的鳄鱼站起身来
[02:50]	恰到好处地掉下眼泪悲痛得使劲绞扭自己的双手
[02:53]	那是什么意思？你问道。我无法回答它的含义
[02:57]	但它会在我耳边反复回响。何物？何物？
[03:04]	我仅会如实陈述一如我当场亲眼所见
