诗人以病骖自喻，对于当时压抑人才的弊端痛加讽谏，面对“却骐骥而不乘兮，策驽骀而取路”（宋玉《九辩》）的社会现实，作者有着几许感慨，多少不平！诗意委婉深沉，令人回味不尽。

完颜寿·《东郊瘦马》

此岁无秋畋亩空，病骖谁遣啮枯丛？

仓储自益鸳骀肉，独尔控嘶苜蓿风。

A Lean Horse in an Eastern Suburb

Wanyan Shou

This autumn there is nothing to be cropped in the fields.

A sick steed feeding on withered grass! Whose doing can it be?

Jades getting their feed from granaries are putting on weight;

A steed like you can only neigh at a smell of Lucerne in the wind.
