Allegorical Quatrains

Translated by Bienvenido Lumbera

Alas for me, my friend,

Solitary is the peace of thread:

Once it snaps at the bobbin,

It ends up tangled in the heddle-rod

Though the hill be high

And reach up to the highland,

Being desirous of heights

It will finally be reduced to discern.

When one submits to a wound,

he does not feel the pain;

to one who resists it,

a mere scratch become a sole,

I'm the fish the size of the "sap sap"

No wider than a barnacle;

But I'm creating quite stir

Because I'm swimming around

with a Big "apahap"
