When the sweet showers of April fall and shoot
Down through the drought of March of pierce the root,
Bathing every vein in liquid power
日语翻译软件
From which there springs the engendering of the flower,
When also Zephyrus with his sweet breath
Exhales an air in every groove and heath
Upon the tender shoots, and the young sun
His half-cour in the sign of the Ram has run,
And the small fowls are making melody
That sleep away the night with open eye
(So nature picks them and their heart engages)
The people long to ek the stranger strands
Of far-off saints, hallowed in sundry lands…

The quality of mercy id nit strain’d
It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven
Upon the place beneath: it is twice bless’d
It blesth him that gives, and him that takes:
‘Tis mightiest; it becomes
The throned monarch better than his crown
His scepter shows the force of temporal power
The attribute to awe and majesty,
Wherein doth sit the dread and fear of kings;
But mercy is above this sceptred sway,
mcgeeIt is attribute to God himlf;
And earthly power doth then show likest God’s
When mercy asons justice. Therefore Jew,
午后咖啡
Though justice be thy plea, consider this,
That in the cour of justice none of us
Should e salvation: we do pray for mercy,
And that same prayer doth teach us all to render
The deeds of mercy.

When, in disgrace with fortune and men's eyes,
I all alone beweep my outcast state
And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries
And look upon mylf and cur my fate,
Wishing me like to one more rich in hope,
Featured like him, like him with friends posss'd,
Desiring this man's art and that man's scope,
With what I most enjoy contented least;
Yet in the thoughts mylf almost despising,
Haply I think on thee, and then my state,
Like to the lark at break of day arising
From sullen earth, sings hymns at heaven's gate;
For thy sweet love remember'd such wealth brings
That then I scorn to change my state with kings.

Let us go then, you and I,
When the evening is spread out against the sky
Like a patient etherized upon a table;
Let us go; through certain half-derted streets,
The muttering retreats,
Of restless nights, in one-night cheap hotels,
And sawdust restaurant with oyster-shells:
Streets that follow like a tedious argument
Of insidious intent
To lead you to an overwhelming question…..
Oh, do not ask, “What is it?”
Let us go and make our visit.

Death be not proud, though some have called thee
Mighty and dreadful, for, thou art not soe,
For, tho, whom thou think’st, thou dost overthrow,
Die riot, poore death, nor yet canst thou kill mee.
From rest and sleepe, which but thy pictures bee,
Much pleasure, then from thee, much more must flow,
And soonest our best men with thee doe goe,
Rest of their bones, and souls deliverie.
Thou art slave to fate, chance, kings, and desperate men,
And dost with poyson, warre, and sickness dwell,
And poppie, or charmes can make us sleepe as well,
韩国中秋节
And better than thy stroake; why swell’st thou then?
One short sleepe past, wee wake eternally,
And death shall be no more, Death thou shalt die.
