紛紛衿佩止時文，競巧趨新做日程。
一試奔馳天下士，三年冷暖世間情。
清朝不許人心壞，舉子安知天爵榮。
所用是人行是學，不知何日可昇平。

詩歌內容
白話文翻譯
衆多士子身著儒服，只專注於應時的文章。
爭相追求工巧與新意，安排著每日的功課行程。
一場考試驅使著天下的讀書人奔波馳走。
三年間嘗盡人情的冷暖與世態的炎涼。
清明的朝廷不允許人心敗壞。
應試的舉子們又怎能知曉天賜爵祿的尊榮？
所任用的人若真能踐行所學。
不知要到哪一天才能見到太平盛世。
英文翻譯
Scholars flock to the fashion of the day, in ornate attire and essays they display.
Striving for novelty, they race against time, their daily schedules in perfect rhyme.
One exam sends them galloping across the land, a test for every scholar, grand.
Three years reveal the world's warmth and chill, the fickle human ties that thrill.
The enlightened court won't let men's hearts decay, upholding virtue in its sway.
How can these candidates truly know the honor that from Heaven's grace may flow?
If those employed are men of learning true, and governance aligns with what they knew,
I wonder when we'll see an age of peace, a time when all these struggles cease.
