| Counsel to Girls Robert Herrick ( 1591-1674)
 
 Gather ye rose-buds while ye may,
 Old time is still a-flying:
 And this same flower that smiles to-day,
 Tomorrow 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 spent, 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.
 
 
 勸女于歸
 
 采采薔薇﹐及彼未萎﹔日月其邁﹐韶華如飛。
 今夕此花﹐灼灼其姿﹔翌日何如﹐將作枯枝。
 朝暾炘炘﹐燦若天燈﹔其光熠熠﹐載耀載昇。
 彌高其行﹐彌短其程﹔日中必昃﹐言曛言暝。
 年當破瓜﹐妙齡之佳﹔精血方盛﹐及春歲華。
 一旦虛度﹐將自怨嗟﹔韶華如舊﹐爰征以遐。
 勸汝莫羞﹐及花仍稠﹔采之拮之﹐覓一良儔。
 韶光易逝﹐歲月難留﹔良辰一誤﹐永無好逑。
