常愛裴相國式芳塵，斷際高風慕要倫，擬欲事師為弟子，  
不知將法付何人。常愛李相國垂列星，  
藥嶠深源宅性靈，我來問道無餘說，  
雲在青天水在瓶。緬想當時二台輔，出鎮藩維訪諸祖，  
寥寥浮幻輕百年，落落宏規照千古。  
今聞仙都賢太守，入政褰帷聲浩浩，英佐一一分化條，  
文經武緯亦難討。遠遠牋函飛乳峯，  
選開士兮恢吾宗，覿夜光非震滄海，聆正音豈玩焦桐。  
徒誇麟龍，自西自東，應排罔象得象，  
必須覺雄讓雄。今既塞請，還也奇別，  
茫茫普熱，紛紛下雪。倒流四河，載發枯枿，卷舒立方外乾坤，  
縱橫掛域中日月，黃頭碧眼  
知未知，去去　憑誰繼清絕。

> I always cherish Prime Minister Pei's following of fragrant dust; / In Duanji's lofty style, he admired the essential lineage: / Intending to serve the master as a disciple, / He knew not to whom the Dharma was entrusted. / I always cherish Prime Minister Li's hanging among the ranked stars; / Yaoshan's deep source lodged his spiritual nature: / 'I come to ask of the Way, there is no further explanation: / Clouds are in the blue sky, water is in the vase.' / Reflecting on those two pillars of state at that time, / Stationed to govern border regions, they visited the patriarchs; / Aloof from floating illusions, they made light of a hundred years; / Lofty and broad regulations illuminate a thousand ages. / Now I hear the worthy Prefect of Xiandu, / Entering governance and lifting the carriage curtains, his fame resounds far and wide. / His brilliant assistants each divide administrative tasks; / Both civil governance and martial order are difficult to fathom. / From afar, correspondence flies to Rufeng, / To select an open scholar to broaden our school. / Seeing the night-shining pearl does not shake the vast ocean; / Listening to the correct tone, how could one toy with the scorched paulownia? / Vainly praising the qilin and dragon, from west and from east; / One must dismiss Xiangwang to obtain the elephant; / One must let the Hero of Awakening yield to the hero. / Now that you have accepted the invitation, this is a wondrous farewell: / Vast and sweltering, snowflakes fall in profusion. / The four rivers flow backward, dead stumps bloom again; / Rolling up and unrolling, establishing heaven and earth beyond things; / Traversing horizontally and vertically, hanging the sun and moon within the realm. / The yellow-headed and blue-eyed ones— / Do they know or not? / Go, go! Upon whom can we rely to continue such pure perfection?
