Роберт Геррик. О человеке. На Распа. Эпиг. Продавец очков.

О ЧЕЛОВЕКЕ.

Две части в нас: Природа и Искусство;
Искусство наше рождено из чувства
Природы вечной, что торит сама
Дорогу нам для знанья и ума.


394. Upon man.

Man is compos'd here of a two-fold part;
The first of Nature, and the next of Art:
Art presupposes Nature; Nature shee
Prepares the way for mans docility.




400. На Распа. Эпиграмма

Играя в гольф, имеет Расп доход
От ставок, потому что точно бьёт.
Но больше спустит он в одну дыру,
Чем с девяти* получит за игру.



(2) Nine holes: which consists in bowling of marbles at a wooden bridge with nine arches, Each arch bears a number, and the owner of the bridge pays that number of marbles to the player who shoots through it, making his profit from the missing marbles, which he confiscates.

NINE HOLES -- This name is given to two different marble games. The first game is Miniature Golf played with marbles. Players construct a miniature golf course from materials at hand and take turns shooting their marbles around, through, and over the obstacles they've built. First player to complete nine holes wins.


400. Upon Raspe Epig.

Raspe playes at Nine-holes; and 'tis known he gets
Many a Teaster by his game, and bets:
But of his gettings there's but little sign;
When one hole wasts more then he gets by Nine.

ПРОДАВЕЦ ОЧКОВ.

Бен, будучи слаб зреньем, продает
Очки другим уже не первый год;
Что ж сам не носит? Это не вопрос:
Нельзя очки надеть на плоский нос.


401. Upon Center a Spectacle-maker with a
flat nose.

Center is known weak sighted, and he sells
To others store of helpfull spectacles.
Why weres he none? Because we may suppose,
Where Leaven wants, there Levill lies the nose.
