Oh, my friend's prince, you left again, and I heard them sigh behind you.

Have you seen the lovely hair in the bright mirror in the high room, although it is still silky black in the morning, it turns into snow at night? Oh, let a man with spirit take risks where he wants to go, and never point his golden cup at the moon empty! . Since God has given talents, let them be used! As for the money, although it is scattered, it will get together again. Cook a sheep, kill a cow, sharpen your appetite, and let me, 300 bowls, take a big drink! Among them, "If you don't see the nest, why are you a firefly alone?" The image of bees is used to express the spirit of purity and selflessness.
