布射僚 丸 ， 嵇琴 阮嘯 。
Lv Bu's bow, Yi Liao's balls; Ji Kang's zither, Ruan Ji's calls.
恬筆 倫紙 ， 鈞 巧任 釣 。
Tian gave us brush, Lun, paper fine; Jun compass, wheels, Ren, hook and line.
釋紛 利俗 ， 竝 皆 佳妙 。
Peace and benefit to us; together all are marvelous.
毛施淑姿 ， 工顰妍 笑 。
Mao and Shi, most beautiful; brows knit in pain, smile charming still.
年 矢 每 催 ， 曦 暉 朗 曜 。
The clock of years times out all lives; the blazing sun alone survives.
璿 璣 懸 斡 ， 晦魄 環照 。
The Dipper turns suspended in the night; world bathed by last moon's pale and gloomy light.
指薪 修祜 ， 永綏吉劭 。
Ideas to tinder, leave them blessed; always encourage, guide, suggest.
矩步 引領 ， 俯仰 廊廟 。
Measured steps, neck thrust forward; all the bowing, life at court.
束帶 矜庄 ， 徘徊 瞻眺 。
Robes wrapped with sash, severe and grand; calmly pace, behold your land.
孤陋寡聞 ， 愚蒙 等 誚 。
Fools and ignoramuses; dimwits too, ridiculous.
謂語 助者 ， 焉哉乎 也 。
So-called helpers; yan zai hu ye.
