Robert Herrick - Counsel to Girls 汉译

Gather ye rose-buds while ye may,

Old Times is still a-flying:

And this same flower that smiles to-day,

To-morrow will be dying.

The glorious Lamp of Heaven, the Sun,

The higher he’s a-getting

The sooner will his race be run, 　

And nearer he’s to setting.

That age is best which is the first,

When youth and blood are warmer; 　　　　　　　　

But being spend, the worse, and worst

Times, still succeed the former.

Then be not coy, but use your time; 　　　　　　　　　　

And while ye may, go marry: 　　　　　　　　

For having lost but once your prime,

You may for ever tarry.

折蕊词

罗伯特·赫里克

折蕊当及时，时光去如驶。

今日玫瑰笑，明朝抱香死。

朱曦似明灯，上升烛天府。

愈高昃愈近，西斜辞玉宇。

青春诚可贵，年华豆蔻时。

妙龄去不留，由老旋入衰。

及早缔良缘，莫负好时节。

芳华一朝逝，迟暮空悲切。
