To His Book - Robert Herricktranslation in German

To His Book

An sein Buch

Be bold, my book, nor be abashed

Sei mutig, mein Buch, und schäme dich nicht

Or fear the cutting thumb-nail

Oder fürchte den schneidenden Daumennagel

Or the brow severe

Oder die strenge Stirn

But by the Muses swear

Doch schwöre bei den Musen

All here is good

Alles hier ist gut

If but well read, or ill read

Wenn nur gut gelesen, oder schlecht gelesen

Understood

Verstanden
