Oracle Text
The mulberry-and-elm sun hastens to its dusk,
the waning moon will hardly come round full;
but should you meet a keen, sharp-witted guest,
then joy, you'll find, arrives of its own accord.

The matter has reached a dead end, and a turn for the better is hard; yet you need not be too dejected—to keep your life is itself good fortune.
