萬松老人評唱天童覺和尚頌古從容庵錄 4.74

4.74

新婦騎驢阿家牽（草木不勞拈出）體段風流得自然（描不成畫不就）
堪笑學顰隣舍女（弄巧成拙）向人添醜不成妍（取笑傍觀）

'The bride rides the donkey; the mother-in-law leads it;' (No need to trouble bringing out plants and trees.) / The style and charm are natural. (Cannot be traced, cannot be painted.) / Laughable indeed is the neighboring girl imitating the knit brow; (Trying to be clever only makes a blunder.) / Facing others, she adds ugliness and makes no beauty. (Making a laughingstock for onlookers.)
