1. I will only output the English translation of the poem:
O people of knowledge, I pose you a riddle

2. Of a thing that does not slacken its pace
When a man stands between its legs it speaks

3. Incessant, grating sounds
It walks with its leader always behind

4. Swaying as it goes like a drunkard
Unruly, if it stands it leans

5. And if it walks it is steady like a scale
Carried, yet bearing burdens
