杜甫絕句漫興九首
其四
二月已破三月來,漸老逢春能幾回。
莫思身外無窮事,且盡生前有限杯。
Nine impromptu Quatrains by Du Fu
(IV)
Again, February hath left, March arriveth here,
Afore an aged man, how many times could spring *peer?
Ah, better let go of those things beyond my reach,
Thus I'd joy in some cups ere I'll repose in bier.
Tr. Ziyuzile
*(archaic) appear / come into view
