身自端方，
体自坚硬。
虽不能言，
有言必应。
Its body is square,
Its substance firm and hard；
Though it cannot speak
it will assuredly record anything said.

叁

能使妖魔胆尽摧，身如束帛气如雷。
一声震得人方恐，回首相看已化灰。
Monsters I can affright and put to flight;
A roll of silk my form;my thunderous crash
Strikes dread into the heart of all,
Yet when they look around I've turned to ash.

肆
天运人功理不穷，有功无运也难逢。
因何镇日纷纷乱，只为阴阳数不同。
No end to the labours of men,to heaven's decrees,
But labour unblessed by Heaven will fruitless be.
What causes this constant,frenzied activity?
The uncertainty of mortal destiny.

阶下儿童仰面时，清明妆点最堪宜。
游丝一断浑无力，莫向东风怨别离。
The children by the steps look up:
Spring surely has no fitter decoration.
But when the silk cord breaks it drifts away，
Blame not the east wind for this separation.

朝罢谁携两袖烟，琴边衾里总无缘。
晓筹不用鸡人报，五夜无烦侍女添。
焦首朝朝还暮暮，煎心日日复年年。
光阴荏苒须当惜，风雨阴晴任变迁。
Who leaves the leave with smoke-scented sleeves？
Not maid at the fifth watch to replenish it.
Burned with anxiety both day and night，
Consumed with anguish as time slips away，
As life speeds past we learn to hold it dear
What cares it whether foul or fair the day？
