The first that there did greet my stranger soul was my great father-in-law, renowned Warwick;
迎接我這新來的亡魂的，是我那鼎鼎大名的岳父大人，華威；
Who cried aloud, "What scourge for perjury can this dark monarchy afford false Clarence?" And so he vanished.
他高聲嚷道，“這黑暗的君主國里能有什么嚴刑峻法來懲治觸犯天條的克拉倫斯？”說罷不見了蹤影；
Then came wandering by a shadow like an angel, with bright hair Dabbled in blood;
隨后一個天使般的陰影徘徊至此，光閃閃的頭發上帶著血跡；
and he shrieked out aloud: "Clarence is come! false, fleeting, perjured Clarence!
尖聲叫道：“克拉倫斯來了——虛偽、善變、背誓的克拉倫斯！
That stabbed me in the field by Tewksbury: Seize on him, Furies, take him to your torments!"
他在圖克斯伯雷戰場上刺殺了我；抓住他！冤魂們，讓他去受酷刑！”
With that, methoughts, a legion of foul fiends environed me,
隨即，我覺得一大群惡魔圍住了我，
and howled in mine ears Such hideous cries, that, with the very noise, I, trembling, waked,
在我耳畔嚷個不停，那駭人的叫聲把我嚇醒，我滿身顫抖，已然蘇醒，
and, for a season after, Could not believe but that I was in hell; Such terrible impression made the dream.
過了許久竟還以為自己身在冥府；這場噩夢給我留下了可怕印記。
No marvel, lord, though it affrighted you; I am afraid, methinks, to hear you tell it.
難為您了，大人，您是嚇壞了；單單聽您講，我就怕得不行。
O Brakenbury, I have done those things, which now bear evidence against my soul, For Edward's sake;
喔，布萊肯巴里，我干的那些事，如今卻成了控訴我靈魂的證據；都是為了愛德華；
and see how he requites me! O God! if my deep prayers can not appease thee, But thou wilt be avenged on my misdeeds,
且看他是如何報答我的！上帝??！倘若我深沉的祈禱還不能使您的怒火平息，您就懲罰我的錯誤，
Yet execute thy wrath in me alone: Oh, spare my guiltless wife and my poor children!
那就拿我一人出氣吧；啊，千萬放過我那無辜妻子和可憐的兒女。
I pray thee, gentle keeper, stay by me; My soul is heavy, and I fain would sleep.
我懇求你，好脾氣的獄官，和我在一起；我的心魂往下墜，真想把覺兒來睡。
I will, my lord: God give your grace good rest! CLARENCE reposes himself on a chair.
我陪您，我的大人，愿上帝賜您安眠！克拉倫斯在椅子上漸漸入睡。
Sorrow breaks seasons and reposing hours, makes the night morning, and the noontide night.
憂愁打破了四季的界限，連安眠也成枉然，把夜間變為早晨，白晝變成夜晚。
