蘇軾《和董傳留別》

粗繒大布裹生涯,

Though wrapping the body are coarse rag clothes,

腹有詩書氣自華。

my presence is evinced with the scent of poems and books. 

厭伴老儒烹瓠葉,

Having tired of being a poor old polymath of hollow words. 

強隨舉子踏槐花。

I coerce myself to take part in national exams 

囊空不辦尋春馬,

Travelling to the capital with my worn-out shoes,

眼亂行看擇婿車。

fascinating me are the well-born belles on carts  

得意猶堪誇世俗,

Now to the world I can gloat over my success in the exams,

詔黃新濕字如鴉。

see my name is still wet with ink on the list of royal candidates.
