Counsel to Girls
by Robert Herrick
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.
给少女们的忠告
（屠岸译）
可以采花的时机，别错过，
时光老人在飞驰：
今天还在微笑的花朵
明天就会枯死。
太阳，那盏天上的华灯，
向上攀登得越高，
路程的终点就会越临近，
剩余的时光也越少。
青春的年华是最最美好的，
血气方刚，多热情；
过了青年，那越来越不妙的
年月会陆续来临。
那么，别怕羞，抓住机缘，
你们该及时结婚；
你一旦错过了少年，
会成千古恨。
注：
ye：第二人称代词thou（=you）的复数形式。
a-flying：由动名词加词头a-构成的现在分词，同flying。
prime：青春
tarry：耽搁、延迟

To know what love is which can make you devote all your life.
Don't cry because it is over,smile because it happened.
