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

❖ Characteristics of his poems:
❖ dazzling wordplay, often explicitly sexual; subtle argumentation; surprising contrasts; colloquial language; irregular meter; intricate psychological analysis; and striking imagery selected from nontraditional areas such as law, physiology, scholastic philosophy, astronomy and mathematics which endow his poems with learning and wit and also make them difficult to understand.
死神，你莫骄傲，尽管有人说你 如何强大，如何可怕，你并不是这样；

我们最美好的人随你去得越早
Rest of their bones, and soule's deliverie.
Deliverie=freedom
越能早日获得身体的休息，灵魂的解脱。

from the body. )

Thou art slave to fate, chance, kings, and desperate men,
Not only does death not conquer us, but death itself is only a tool for -- a "slave to" -- fate (destiny), chance (accident, things that just happen), kings (men who order people to be put to death), and those for whom life is so unbearable, they kill themselves ("desperate men").So death has all these bosses over him whom he must obey
Die not, poor death, nor yet canst thou kill me;
你以为你把谁谁谁打倒了，其实， 可怜的死神，他们没死；你现在也还杀不死我。
