✦ متنِ اصلی و ترجمهٔ فارسی، کنارِ هم

1. 1•Much have I travell'd in the realms of gold,
2. 2• And many goodly states and kingdoms seen;
3. 3• Round many western islands have I been
4. 4•Which bards in fealty to Apollo hold.
5. 5•Oft of one wide expanse had I been told
6. 6• That deep-brow'd Homer ruled as his demesne;
7. 7• Yet did I never breathe its pure serene
8. 8•Till I heard Chapman speak out loud and bold:
9. 9•Then felt I like some watcher of the skies
10. 10• When a new planet swims into his ken;
11. 11•Or like stout Cortez when with eagle eyes
12. 12• He star'd at the Pacific--and all his men
13. 13•Look'd at each other with a wild surmise--
14. 14• Silent, upon a peak in Darien.
