Роберт геррик. о себе iii. upon himself iii
Живут, пока горит огонь Любви;
Как песни будут петь их повсеместно,
И станет имя Геррика известным.
А вот его последняя из строк:
«В стихах он весел был, но в жизни – строг».
Robert Herrick
UPON HIMSELF (III)
Thou shalt not all die; for while Love's fire shines
Upon his altar, men shall read thy lines;
And learn'd musicians shall, to honour Herrick's
Fame, and his name, both set and sing his lyrics.
To his book's end this last line he'd have placed:--
Jocund his Muse was, but his Life was chaste.
