山林隐遁栖。
朱门何足荣？
The wooded hills are where the hermits roam. The noble mansions are of no account;
未若托蓬莱。
临源挹清波，
I’d rather live alone on Penglai Mount. I’ll scoop clear waters when I reach the rill;
陵冈掇丹羹。
灵溪可潜盘，
I’ll pick magic herb when I climb the hill. Since there is a sacred place near at hand,
安事登云梯？
漆园有傲吏，
I have no need to seek immortal land. Master Zhuangzi lived a hermit's life;
莱氏有逸妻。
进则保龙见，
Master Laolai retired with his dear wife. I may climb the social ladder if I try,
退为触藩瓶。
高蹈风尘外，
But may get into a plight should I vie. I’d best be far away from the madding crowd;
长揖谢夷齐。
In this way, Boyi and Shuqi would have bowed!
