Titan! to thee the strife was given
Between the suffering and the will,
Which torture where they cannot kill;
And the inexorable Heaven,
And the deaf tyranny of Fate,
The ruling principle of Hate.
Which for its pleasure doth create
The things it may annihilate,
Refused thee even the boon to die:
The wretched gift eternity
Was thine-and thou hast borne it well.
All that the Thunderer wrung from thee
Was but the menace which flung back
On him the torments of thy rack;
The fate thou didst so well foresee,
But would not to appease him tell;
And in thy Silence was his Sentence,
And in his Soul a vain repentance,
And evil dread so ill dissembled
That in his hand the lightnings trembled.

巨人！你注定要
挣扎于痛苦和意志之间，
它们虽不能将你杀死，却要折磨你；
而那无情的天堂，
那昏聩凶残的命运，
那愤恨的规则，
它为了自己取乐创造出万物，
然后又一一毁灭，
甚至不让你痛痛快快地去死；
这悲惨的永恒
是你的：而你却善于忍受。
雷神逼出了你什么？
除了你给他的一句诅咒：
你所承受的折磨也会降临在他的身上。
你能够准确预知未来的命运，
却不肯说出以求和解；
你的沉默促成了他的判决，
他的灵魂只剩下徒劳地悔恨：
邪恶的恐惧已无法掩饰，
他手中的闪电正在颤抖。
