死神，你莫骄傲Death Be Not Proud

Death Be Not Proud死神，你莫骄傲
by John Donne约翰 邓恩

Death, be not proud, though some have called thee Mighty and dreadful, for thou art not so;

For those whom thou think'st thou dost overthrow Die not, poor Death, nor yet canst thou kill me.

From rest and sleep, which but thy pictures be, Much pleasure; then from thee much more must flow,

And soonest our best men with thee do go, Rest of their bones, and soul’s delivery.

Thou’rt slave to fate, chance, kings, and desperate men,

And dost with poison, war, and sickness dwell, And poppy, or charms can make us sleep as well,

And better then thy stroke; why swell'st thou then?

One short sleep past, we wake eternally,

And death shall be no more: Death, thou shalt die.


约翰·邓恩(John Donne，1572年1月22日-1631年3月31日)， 十七世纪英国玄学派诗人、教士，被T·S艾略特特别推崇，于其中布罗茨基和这位久远年代的异国诗人，曾在欧洲大陆游历，也曾是宫廷中潇洒倜傥、前途无量的绅士。
