The Monarch rode along the van,

The foe's approaching force to scan,

His line to marshal and to range,

And ranks to square, and fronts to change.

Alone he rode—from head to heel

Sheathed in his ready arms of steel;

保護(hù)在他準(zhǔn)備好的鋼制武器中；

Nor mounted yet on war-horse wight,

沒有勇敢的戰(zhàn)馬，

But, till more near the shock of fight,

但是，直到更加接近戰(zhàn)斗的沖擊，

Reining a palfrey low and light.

讓身下騎乘的馬慢下來，而且步履輕盈。

A diadem of gold was set

黃金的王冠

Above his bright steel basinet;

在他明亮的刀劍上搖晃；

And clasped within its glittering twine

緊握在手中閃閃發(fā)光纏繞的線

Was seen the glove of Argentine;

是銀色的手套；

Truncheon or leading staff he lacks,

他沒有短棍或領(lǐng)頭的士兵，

Bearing, instead, a battle-axe.

而是拿著戰(zhàn)斧。

He ranged his soldiers for the fight

他讓士兵去戰(zhàn)斗

Accoutred thus, in open sight

戴好軍備，在這樣開放的環(huán)境下

Of either host. —Three bow-shots far,

一邊的主人。——三個(gè)弓的射擊距離，

Paused the deep front of England's war,

英國(guó)前線的戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)暫停了一下，

And rested on their arms a while,

在他們的臂膀中休整了一會(huì)，

To close and rank their warlike file,

結(jié)束、評(píng)價(jià)他們的軍事文件，

And hold high council, if that night

設(shè)立最高議會(huì)，如果那天晚上

Should view the strife, or dawning light.

應(yīng)該看到?jīng)_突，或者曙光。

Oh, gay, yet fearful to behold,

噢，小伙子們，現(xiàn)在害怕目睹，

Flashing with steel and rough with gold,

鋼鐵和粗糙的黃金閃爍著，

And bristled o'er with bills and spears,

直立的長(zhǎng)柄矛與長(zhǎng)矛，

With plumes and pennons waving fair,

羽毛和旗幟示意著公平，

Was that bright battle-front! for there

是戰(zhàn)場(chǎng)上的燦爛輝煌！在那里

Rode England's King and Peers:

And who, that saw that Monarch ride,

His kingdom battled by his side,

Could then his direful doom foretell? —

Fair was his seat in knightly selle,

公平在他的座位上，充滿俠義之氣，

And in his sprightly eye was set

在他精神矍鑠的眼睛里生根

Some spark of the Plantagenet.
