穠華易遷。繁蕉不實。星髮鮐肌。憐光愒日。二竪潛言。十巫空術。生之往矣。高松蕭瑟。即化翻靈。從緣墜質。噬臍有譏。嗟然何汩。

Lush blossoms are easily displaced; dense plantains are devoid of substance. / White hair like stars and skin like a mottled fish; cherishing the light, begrudging the sun. / The two urchin spirits whisper secretly; the ten shamans use their arts in vain. / The living departs; the tall pines sough desolately. / Transforming directly, the spirit overturns; following conditions, the physical form falls. / One is mocked for biting one's navel in vain; with a deep sigh, why this turmoil?
