何謂世上最佳之物？
June-rose, by May-dew impearled;
六月玫瑰，五月晨露；
Sweet south-wind, that means no rain;
和熙南風，雨水全無；
Truth, not cruel to a friend;
真，不戕害朋友、無辜； （真誠待友，不傷無辜；）
Pleasure, not in haste to end;
知足，不率走極端路；
Beauty, not self-decked and curled
美，不刻意打扮妝梳，
Till its pride is over-plain;
過於抱怨，實乃自負；
Love, when, so, you're loved again.
愛當如此，愛我如初，
What's the best thing in the world?
