| 題名： | 九年十一月二十一日... |
| 作者： | 白居易 |
| 禍福茫茫不可期 大都早退似先知 當君白首同歸日 是我青山獨往時 顧索素琴應不暇 憶牽黃犬定難追 麒麟作脯龍為醢 何似泯中曳尾龜 | |
| 英譯： |
Blessings and disasters occur by accident;
One cannot plan for them in advance;
But presumably foreknowing persons
Retire early.
Note, all you white-haired men,
The day that you retire
Is the time that I've been living
As a solitary on Blue-Green Mountain.
They never had the chance to take up the lute;
It was hard, too, for them
To lead the yellow dog on the rabbit hunt.
The unicorn and the dragon
Have turned to minced meat;
Far better to be a turtle
Dragging its tail in the mud!
Blessings and disasters happen perchance, they can't be planned for but probably those who are foreknowing retire early. All of you white-haired, the day you revert that's the time I'm living lone at Blue-Green Mountain. They never had a chance to take up the lute, hard too for them to lead the yellow dog on the rabbit hunt. The unicorn and the dragon, turned into minced meat; far better to be a turtle dragging its tail in the mud.
