因为罗伦索不回来。她时常
眼睛黯淡无光竭力保持镇定，
问她两个哥哥，究竟是什么牢狱似的国家
能使他离开得那么久？他们一次又一次地
撒个谎来使她安静。他们的罪恶
罩住他们，像从欣嫩谷生出的一缕烟；
他们每天晚上在梦中高声呻吟，
看到妹妹穿着雪白的尸衾。

Because Lorenzo came not. Oftentimes
She ask’d her brothers, with an eye all pale,
Striving to be itself, what dungeon climes
Could keep him off so long? They spake a tale
Time after time, to quiet her. Their crimes
Came on them, like a smoke from Hinnom’s vale;
And every night in dreams they groan’d aloud,
To see their sister in her snowy shroud.
