牧杖信為急　調絃貴不奢  
騰猨安可制　逸馬本難罝  
驅馳習聲色　冠蓋競豪華  
既入王孫第　還向季倫家  
靜心澄業累　省念勗身瑕  
庶茲憑七覺　持用免三邪

> The herder's staff must truly be kept at hand; / In tuning strings, moderation is valued.  
> How can a leaping ape be subdued? / A runaway horse is naturally hard to snare.  
> Galloping about, indulging in sights and sounds; / Caps and carriages vie in opulence.  
> Once entering the prince's mansion, / They head back to Jilun's estate.  
> Calm the mind to clarify the burdens of karma; / Examine your thoughts to spur away bodily flaws.  
> May you rely on the seven factors of awakening, / And upholding them, escape the three evils.
