伯虎說

一枝春風叩柴門
一聲鵲啼我自珍
不見對弈人落子定乾坤
酩酊寄此身
一壺炊煙煮黃昏
一盞舊茶浮亦沉
清風無人問 拭盡萬般塵
與君斟星辰
 
明月萬年無前身
照見古今獨醒人
公子王孫何必問
虛度我青春
明月萬年無前身
照見古今獨醒人
公子王孫何必問
和光也同塵
 
別人笑我太瘋癲
我笑他人看不穿
不見五陵豪傑墓
無花無酒鋤作田
桃花塢裡桃花庵
桃花庵下桃花仙
桃花仙人種桃樹
又摘桃花賣酒錢 賣酒錢

Says Bohu

Knocking on the wooden gate with a spring breeze
The magpie's cry holds a cherished meaning for me
Not seeing my Go opponent, I shape fate with each stone
Intoxicated, I entrust my life to this moment
One pot of cooking smoke at dusk
One cup of old tea, floating and sinking
The gentle breeze asks no one, wiping away myriad worldly dust
I toast the stars with you
 
The eternal moon bears no past life
Illuminating the wakeful loners throughout history, it understands
Your highness, why inquire needlessly
As I squander my youth away
The eternal moon bears no past life
Illuminating the wakeful loners throughout history, it understands
Your highness, why inquire needlessly
As I confuse my colors and join the dust
 
In the laughter of others, they mock my eccentricity
But I laugh back, for they cannot perceive
Not seeing the tombs of the famous and heroic
I toil in the fields without flowers or wine
In the Peach Blossom Hamlet, within the Peach Blossom Temple
Resides the Peach Blossom Immortal
The Peach Blossom Immortal tends to peach trees
And once more, plucks peach blossoms to sell for wine, wine money
