介绍： Virtue
By George Herbert

Sweet day, so cool, so calm, so bright,
The bridal of the earth and sky;
The dew shall weep thy fall tonight,
For thou must die.

Sweet rose, shoes hue, angry and brave,
Bids the rash gazer wipe his eye;
Thy root is ever in its grave,

介绍： Virtue
By George Herbert

Sweet day, so cool, so calm, so bright,
The bridal of the earth and sky;
The dew shall weep thy fall tonight,
For thou must die.

Sweet rose, shoes hue, 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 soul,
Like seasoned timber, never gives;
But though the whole world turn to coal,
Then chiefly lives.

美德
乔治·赫伯特
美好的白昼，如此凉爽、沉静、明亮，
仿佛天空和大地喜结连理；
但今晚露珠将为你的落幕而悲伤，
因为你终归难逃一死。

可爱的玫瑰，你的娇容，绯红夺目，
令鲁莽的花痴忙着把眼睛擦拭；
但你的根永远连着它的坟墓，
终归免不了一死。

美好的春天，满载美好的白昼和玫瑰，
好似装满各样妙物的芬芳匣子；
但我的诗分明唱起了你的挽歌，
万物终归有生有死。

惟有一颗美好而高尚的心灵，
犹如风干的木材，永不腐烂；
即使整个世界化为灰烬，
它依然风骨不散。
