4.37

計較拙於鳩,軒昂老而虎,聞 必意消,見者難覩,
到頭不識賓中主,黑漆竹篦劈面揮,師資誰謂無裨補。

Scheming more clumsily than a dove, yet imposing in age like a tiger; / Hearing of him, intent is surely extinguished; those who see him find him hard to behold. / In the end, he knows not host from guest; / The black-lacquered bamboo spatula strikes straight across the face— / Between master and disciple, who says there is no help rendered?
