Divine Comedy, Cary's Translation, Purgatory

The light bark of my genius lifts the sail, Well pleas’d to leave so cruel sea behind;

我的天赋之舟扬帆，欣然离开了那残酷的海洋；

Sweet hue of eastern sapphire, that was spread O’er the serene aspect of the pure air, High up as the first circle, to mine eyes Unwonted joy renew’d, soon as I ’scap’d Forth from the atmosphere of deadly gloom, That had mine eyes and bosom fill’d with grief.

东方蓝宝石的甜美色彩，覆盖着纯净空气的宁静面貌，高至第一圈，给我眼睛带来了前所未有的喜悦，当我从致命的阴霾中逃脱出来，那里曾让我的眼睛和胸膛充满了悲伤。
