称为青年嫌太老，
三十五岁的大叔。
与童叟混又不好，
好奇人们的活路。
如此之多的烦恼，
这新纪元之产物。
若即若离的爱情，
嫁娶嫌迟恐难成。
另辟追求的途径，
幻像又恐没踪影。
纯洁憧憬是金钱，
初创时期光明现。

To herd with boys, or hoard with good threescore,—
I wonder people should be left alive;
But since they are, that epoch is a bore:
Love lingers still, although 't were late to wive;
And as for other love, the illusion 's o'er;
And money, that most pure imagination,
Gleams only through the dawn of its creation.
