Thomas Carew - The True Beauty 汉译

He that loves a rosy cheek<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

Or a coral lip admires,

Or from star-like eyes doth seek

Fuel to maintain his fires;

As old Time makes these decay,

So his flames must waste away.

But a smooth and steadfast mind,

Gentle thoughts, and calm desires,

Hearts with equal love combined,

Kindle never-dying fires:--

Where these are not, I despise

Lovely cheeks or lips or eyes.

真的美

托马斯·加鲁

颊如玫瑰红，

唇如珊瑚赤，

星眼殊耀燃，

有人为之热；

迟暮俱凋谢，

热情亦衰竭。

心平气亦和，

宁静而谦抑，

一视能同仁，

爱之永不灭：——

世若无斯人，

颊唇眼何益？
