緇門警訓 9.84

9.84

清平世界罷干戈。無奈兒曹籍甚何。急水灘頭拋直釣。
錦鱗不遇枉多羅。

In a peaceful and tranquil world, weapons of war are laid to rest; / Yet what can be done about the great clamor of young fellows? / Casting a straight hook into the rushing rapids— / If one meets no brocade-scaled fish, he vainly tangles his line.
