 Virtue 
         by G.Herbert
  Sweet day,so cool,so calm,so bright!
  The bridal of the earth and sky-
  The dew shall weep thy fall to-night;
  For thou must die.
  Sweet rose,whose hue 1 angry and brave,
  Bids the rash gazer wipe his eye,
  Thy root is ever in its grave,
  And thou must die.
  Sweet spring,full of sweet days and roses,
  A box where sweets compacted lie,
  My music shows ye have your closes,
  And all must die,
  Only a sweet and virtuous 2 soul,
  Like season'd timber,never gives;
  But though the whole world turn to coal,
  Then chiefly lives.

  美德
  --赫伯特
  甜美的白昼,如此凉爽、安宁、明媚!
  天地间完美的匹配--
  今宵的露珠儿将为你的消逝而落泪;
  因为你必须离去。
  美丽的玫瑰,色泽红润艳丽,
  令匆匆而过的人拭目而视,
  你的根永远扎在坟墓里,
  而你必须消逝。
  美妙的春天,充满了美好的日子和芳香的玫瑰,
  如一支芬芳满溢的盒子,
  我的音乐表明你们也有终止,
  万物都得消逝。
  唯有美好而正直的心灵,
  犹如干燥备用的木料,永不走样;
  纵然整个世界变为灰烬,
  它依然流光溢彩。
