30.69

昔余輕歲月。茲也重光陰。閨中屏鉛黛。闕下挂纓簪。禪悅兼芳旨。法憙忘清琴。一異非能辨。寵辱誰為心。

Of old, I made light of months and years; / now, I treasure fleeting moments. / In the bedchambers, cosmetic powders are put away; / beneath the palace towers, tassels and hairpins are hung. / The joy of dhyāna combines fragrant delights; / the joy of the Dharma makes one forget the pure lute. / Unity and difference cannot be distinguished; / for whom would favor or disgrace stir the heart?
