《劝学》- 颜真卿

三更灯火五更鸡，

正是男儿读书时。

黑发不知勤学早，

白首方悔读书迟。

A Quatrain by Yan Zhenqin

(Advice for Young Learners)

The time betwixt the wee hours and cockcrow,

The best study-time for a young fellow.

But if you a black haired lad is so slack,

When old, it’ll be too late not to sorrow.

V2.

The time betwixt the wee hours and cockcrow,

Tis the best study-time for to-morrow.

But if you a black haired lad is so slack,

When old, it’ll be too late not to sorrow.

Tr. Ziyuzile
