Thomas Carew - The Unfading 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.
