A Drinking Song at Stone-Fish Lake
Stone-Fish Lake is like Lake Tung-t'ing —
When the top of Chün is green and the summer tide is rising.
... With the mountain for a table, and the lake a fount of wine,
The tipplers all are settled along the sandy shore.
Though a stiff wind for days has roughened the water,
Wine-boats constantly arrive....
I have a long-necked gourd and, happy on Pa Island,
I am pouring a drink in every direction, doing away with care.
