An Eagle sat perched on a lofty rock,
一只老鹰栖息在一块高高的岩石上，
keeping a sharp look-out for prey.
保持着敏锐的观察力在寻找猎物。
A huntsman, concealed in a cleft of the mountain and on the watch for game,
一个猎人躲在山的裂隙里，随时准备狩猎，
spied him there and shot an Arrow at him.
在那里窥探他，并向他射去飞箭。
The shaft struck him full in the breast and pierced him through and through.
那一箭正中他的胸膛，把他刺得透不过气来。
As he lay in the agonies of death,
当他躺在即将死亡带来的痛苦中，
he turned his eyes upon the Arrow.
他把目光转向箭。
"Ah! cruel fate!" he cried,
“啊！多么残酷的命运!”
"that I should perish thus: but oh! Fate more cruel still, that the Arrow which kills me should be winged with an Eagle's feathers!"
“但愿我就这样死去!命运更残酷的是，杀死我的那支箭上面竟插上了我的羽毛!”
