論詩三十首（三十）金 – 元好問
撼树蜉蝣自觉狂，书生技痒爱论量。
老来留得诗千首，却被何人校短长？
A Quatrain by Yuan Hao-wen (Jin Dynasty)
As mad as a mayfly, I tried to shake the tree —
It seems a scholar’s itch: to judge what ought to be.
Now old, I leave behind thousands of rhymed verses,
But whose bold brush will censure them, or praise with glee?
