4.27

不開罵人口,難以見其慈,不徵衲子病,難以表其師,
似之則殃門添禍,否之則鳳林吒之,
畫工筆熟不識伊,白髮𣯶𣯶箇是誰。咄!

Without opening a mouth that scolds people, his compassion would be hard to see; / Without interrogating the patch-robed monks' sicknesses, his masterhood could not be shown. / Resembling him brings calamity to the gate; / Differing from him, Fenglin reproves him. / The painter's brush is practiced, yet knows not him; / White hair straggly—who is this? Du!
