I only fear cuckoos sing too early, lest flowers should all fall. Orchids and Dahurian angelicas have lost their fragrance,and quan grasses have changed into cogon grasses. I used to regard orhids most reliable .Who knows that they are flashy and without substance. They give up their good qualities and follow vulgar customs, trying their best to squeeze into the ranks of pretty flowers. Prickly ashes are despotic, flattering and arrogant.
Cornels wish to enter the sachet, passing off as fragrant flowers.
Since they are so anxious to curry favor with high officials, surely they cannot emit fragrance. Only my ornaments are most precious as they can maintain their beauty until doday. Their fragrance can hardly vanish indeed. I wisely adjust myself to seek amusement. The wizard has told me that I'll be blessed by a lucky star.
