人生詩
明‧唐寅 （字伯虎，1470~1524）

人生七十古稀，我年七十為奇，
前十年幼小，後十年衰老，
中間只有五十年，一半又在夜裡過了，
算來活了廿五年，受盡多少奔波煩惱。

──《六如居士集》

On Life
Tang Bohu (1470 - 1524, Ming Dynasty)

Seventy is a rare age in life since the ancient times.
I am surprised that I am seventy years old now.
My first decade, I was young and naive.
The last decade, I have been old and weak.
There were also fifty other years.
Half of these were in the dark.
There are only twenty-five years in which I was awakened and useful.
I still suffered alot of trouble and worked hard.
