第一卷 在自然的國度

The State of Nature

British|Alexander Pope

Nor think, in Nature's state they blindly trod;

The state of nature was the reign of God:

Self-love and social at her birth began,

Union the bond of all things, and of man.

Pride then was not; nor arts, that pride to aid;

Man walked with beast, joint tenant of the shade;

The same his table, and the same his bed;

No murder clothed him, and no murder fed.

In the same temple, the resounding wood,

All vocal beings hymned their equal God.
