人寿不可延。
No one can live until the day appears.
顺风激靡草，
The weaklings always turn like weathercocks;
富贵者称贤。
Rich men are labelled wise and run amuck.
文籍虽满腹，
Abundant wealth of knowledge men have learned
不如一囊钱!
Is worth less than a sack of farthings earned.
伊优北堂上，
The fawkers issue orders in the halls;
抗脏倚门边。
The upright are turned beyond the walls.
