Роберт Геррик. Милосердие
Достаточно, что за свою вину
Умрёт главарь, затеявший войну;
Подельников застынет в страхе взор;
Где есть вина, там будет приговор.
Clemency
For punishment in war it will suffice
If the chief author of the faction dies;
Let but few smart, but strike a fear through all;
Where the fault springs there let the judgment fall.
Robert Herrick
August 24, 1591 - October 15, 1674
Robert Herrick was a 17th-century English lyric poet and Anglican cleric. He is best known for Hesperides, a book of poems. This includes the carpe diem poem "To the Virgins, to Make Much of Time", with the first line "Gather ye rosebuds while ye may".
