騄驥資鞭策　蘭蕙佇熏風  
至理信難見　非人孰可通  
輸心仰圓極　瑩曬入玄中  
總轡超三有　摶飛上四空  
簪纓猶忽夢　財利若塵蒙  
高揖謝時俗　蕭灑出煩籠

> "Fine steeds rely on the whip; / Orchids and iris await the fragrant breeze. / The ultimate principle is truly hard to see; / Who but the extraordinary can comprehend it? / Submitting one's mind, one looks up to the consummate summit, / Purifying and illuminating, one enters the profound mystery. / Holding the reins, one transcends the three realms of existence; / Soaring in flight, one ascends to the four immaterial spheres. / Official robes and hairpins are like a fleeting dream; / Wealth and profit are like dust. / With a high bow taking leave of worldly customs, / One freely and gracefully emerges from the cage of vexations."
