注：○大匠：木工之精诣者。《老子》：“夫代司杀者杀，是谓代大匠斲。夫代大匠斲者，稀有不伤其手矣。”此指陶工，而又譬夫造物者也。○尊彝：礼器也。《周礼·春官·司尊彝》：“司尊彝，掌六尊六彝之位。”《国语·周语中》：“出其尊彝，陈其俎豆。”韦昭注：“尊、彝皆受酒之器也。”○原文云：“其次者曰：虽狡童不毁其杯盏，盖尝欣然以之饮也。即盛怒下，彼岂必轻毁我辈哉！”译文“君子败尊彝”云云，旁衍之慨叹耳。
Then said a Second——"Ne'er a peevish Boy
Would break the Bowl from which he drank in joy;
And He that with his hand the Vessel made
Will surely not in after Wrath destroy."
