Sorry it is Haec perit virtus and is on a very old "coat of arms"

"Haec" means 'This".-
"Virtus" is in the nominative case and then is the object of this sentence. The word 'virtus' in English has a lot of meanings as : Bravery , valour, prowess, moral virtue, virtuousness, manhood, power, manliness, excellence, worth, character, courage.
'Perit' is the simple past of the verb 'pereo' and this verb has different meanings in English as : to pass away - to be destroyed - to perish. However the translation (respecting the temp of the verb) can't be 'will pass away' or 'perishes' as I read here above but either '(has) passed away' or '(has) perished' or 'has been destroyed' .
In the Latin grammar there is just one tense (the perfect tense) which translates the 3 tenses of the English grammar (the present perfect, the simple past and the past perfect)
All of the above meanings are rather similar and if I were you I would translate 'this bravery (has) passed away'.

Supposing heac is actually haec, it would mean something like "this virtue will pass away". We would need more context to be sure, and to find the correct idiomatic English words.
