In life’s great vessel
In life’s great vessel, we sail on the sea,
Do you trust in wealth that is fickle and free?
False praise surrounds you in your time of cheer,
But when you are gone, your name disappears.
A young man with virtue is cherished and bright,
His knowledge and wisdom will lift him to a height.
Why dwell on deceit or petty affairs?
Let’s cast off the dirt, shed the weight of our cares.
