'Let me excuse thy courser, gentle boy;
And learn of him, I heartily beseech thee,
To take advantage on presented joy;
Though I were dumb, yet his proceedings teach thee;
O, learn to love; the lesson is but plain,
And once made perfect, never lost again.'
“妙童听我莫怨驹；
郎君学马吾夙愿，
快乐即在当速趋；
奴愚马慧君可见；
学爱知恋皆能悟，
但得其道将永驻”
