Translation of the original text:
I will express my youthful ambition for the time being, holding a yellow dog in my left hand, holding up an eagle in my right arm, wearing a gorgeous and brightly colored hat and an ermine and rat fur coat, and leading a vast army like a swift wind, sweeping across the flat hills and mountains. In order to repay the people for their generosity in accompanying them on their hunting trips, I resolved to shoot the tiger myself, so that I could show you the valor with which Sun Quan wrestled the tiger in his day.
What harm can it do if my heart is open and my guts are even more bold as I drink wine in pain, and my temples are slightly gray? When will the emperor send someone down to trust me, as Emperor Wen of Han sent Feng Tang to pardon Wei Shang in the clouds? At that time I will make every effort to draw my carved bow like a full moon, aim it at the northwest, and shoot at the Western Xia army.
