English Rendering
The shrimps and eels which linger in the mud
Do not know how the seas and rivers flood.
How can sparrows which hop about the hedge
Understand the flight of swans in full fledge?
With this idea rooted deep in mind,
You'll tower over others of your kind.
If you ride to the top of the Five Mounts,
You'll find that other mountains do not count.
Those profit-seekers,on the other hand,
Covet the wealth and power of the land.
To serve the kingdom is my lofty yearning;
To quell the country is my heartfelt burning.
When I touch my sword,it roars like thunder;
When I wave my sword,it flashes with wonder.
For those who crave beyond what wishes ban,
How can they understand the upright man?
