Syair 80

 

Ahli irigasi mengalirkan air, pembuat panah meluruskan anak panah, tukang kayu melengkungkan kayu; orang bijaksana menaklukkan dirinya sendiri.

 

Tukang gawe urung-urung ngilekake banyu, tukang panah ngencengake paser (anak panah), tukang kayu ngeluk kayu, ngibaratake wong wicaksana nelukahe dhiri-pribadine.

 

 

Well-makers lead the water (wherever they like); fletchers bend the arrow; carpenters bend a log of wood; wise people fashion themselves.

 

udakang hi nayanti nettika panjang

usuka panjangra panjang namayanti tejanang

da panjangrung namayanti tacchaka panjang

atta panjangnang damayanti pandita panjang
