庾 信 文 章 老 更 成
凌 云 健 笔 意 纵 横。
今 人 嗤 点 流 传 赋
不 觉 前 贤 畏 后 生。

尔 曹 身 与 名 俱 灭
不 废 江 河 万 古 流。

Make Six Light Four-Line Poems

Geng Xin’s poems appear to be better after he aged
His writing brush robust, towers into the clouds from horizon to horizon.
Today people do not take his poems seriously
I do not agree with them, he is very able and virtuous.

The poetic new style of poets Wang-Lang-Lu-Luo is fine
Current literary fashion does not favor them.
They would throw out anything from the past
Like the myriad river flows, their works will adhere forever.
Notes:
Geng Xin: Poet from the Three Kingdoms period
Wang-Lang-Lu-Luo: Four poets from the early Tang Dynasty.
