V3.
眾人重利,廉士重名,
賢士尚誌,聖人貴精。
The crowd prize how to fill their till,
The pure prize righteous name sans frill
The wise prize steeling iron-will,
The great prize soul in stillness still.
V4.
眾人重利,廉士重名,
賢士尚誌,聖人貴精。
The crowd crave taels in the till,
The pure prize righteous name sans frill.
The wise revere unyielding will,
The sages heed virtue to distill.
