Athaliah: A Tragedy Intended for Reading Only, Translated Into English Blank Verse, From Racine (A. Gombert's Edition, 1825)

How changed are the times! No sooner did the sacred trumpet sound That day's return, than holy people thronged In multitudes the temple's porticos;

时代已然大变！圣号角一宣告那日来临，圣洁的民众便成群涌入殿宇的门廊。

Stopping that concourse, an Audacious woman Has changed those glorious days to days of gloom.

一个胆大妄为的女人阻断了那聚会，将辉煌的日子化为阴郁。
