送给少女的劝告(中英互译)

　　Gather ye rosebuds while ye may,
　　要摘玫瑰得趁早，
　　Old time is still a-flying:
　　岁月催人老：
　　And this same flower that smiles today
　　花儿今天在含笑，
　　Tomorrow will be dying
　　明天就会残凋。
　　The glorious lamp of heaven, the sun,
　　太阳是天上华灯，
　　The higher hes a-getting,
　　它正冉冉升。
　　The sooner will his race be run,
　　越高越快到终点，
　　And nearer he""s to setting.
　　越高越近黄昏。
　　That age is best which is the first,
　　豆蔻年华最美好，
　　When youth and blood are warmer;
　　青春热血方盛。
　　But being spent, the worse, and worst
　　虚度光阴每况下，
　　Times still succeed the former.
　　时间永不停留。
　　Then be nor coy, but use your time,
　　抓紧时机别害羞，
　　And while ye may, go marry:
　　早嫁个意中人，
　　For having lost but once your prime,
　　青春一去不回头，
　　You may for ever tarry.
　　蹉跎贻误一生。
