《醉太平·讥贪小利者》- 元·无名氏
夺泥燕口,
削铁针头,
刮金佛面细搜求,
无中觅有。
鹌鹑嗉里寻豌豆,
鹭鸶腿上劈精肉,
蚊子腹内刳脂油,
亏老先生下手!
A Satire On Petty Greedy Scumbags
by an anonymous author
tr. Wangyu
Snatch at swallow’s bill for a muddy spit,
Scrub needle’s tip for any iron shit.
Scrape Buddha’s gilt face for bit gold,
Seek nothing unturned for anything untold.
Search quail’s crop for a piece of bean,
Slit egret’s legs for meat that’s lean.
Snip mozzie’s tummy for any grease or fat.
Sir!Thanks a lot for the feat thou’rt good at! |
