稱為青年嫌太老，
三十五歲的大叔。
與童叟混又不好，
好奇人們的活路。
如此之多的煩惱，
這新紀元之產物。
若即若離的愛情，
嫁娶嫌遲恐難成。
另辟追求的途徑，
幻像又恐沒蹤影。
純潔憧憬是金錢，
初創時期光明現。

To herd with boys, or hoard with good threescore,—
I wonder people should be left alive;
But since they are, that epoch is a bore:
Love lingers still, although 't were late to wive;
And as for other love, the illusion 's o'er;
And money, that most pure imagination,
Gleams only through the dawn of its creation.
