At the house of Jeon Ije, greatly drunk, I chanted aloud and had Ije gallop his brush and write it on the wall全履之家。大醉口唱。使履之走筆書壁。
君不見東吳水淸山復高。世世生雄豪。履之鍾秀氣。彩鳳穴中生鳳毛。壯志人誰知。地黑天昏龍虎嘷。朴生亦可人。曾是東西南北身。醉來眼花落井底。自稱風流賀季眞。形容大淳古。亦號華胥民。白雲居士本狂客。什載人間空浪迹。縱酒酣歌誰復訶。一生放意聊自適。倡兒叢裏倒千杯。俠客場中爭六博。今日逢君天使然。況復有酒如流泉。與君痛飮擊唾壺。志在萬里思騰騫。烈士壯心何日已。長劒倚靑天。功名富貴不須論。昔日王侯。今朝馬鬣墳。石崇金谷芳草沒。何處覓朱門。都是一場夢。請看蟻國淳于棼。滿酌壽君君飮無。明月爲我炤金樽。
Have you not seen how the waters of Dongwu (東吳) are clear and its mountains likewise high? Generation after generation heroes and bold men are born there. Ije has gathered up an outstanding spirit-breath, and from the burrow of the painted phoenix the phoenix's down has come forth. Who would know his bold purpose? The earth is black and the sky dark, and dragons and tigers roar. Master Bak (朴生) too is a man worth using, and he was once a body drifting east, west, south and north. When drunk his eyes grow dim and he falls to the bottom of the well, and he calls himself the elegant He Jizhen (賀季眞). His look is exceedingly plain and of the old sort, and he is also called a subject of Huaxu (華胥). The White Cloud Recluse is a mad wayfarer from the first, and for many years has idly let his traces run in the world of men. Though I drink wine to my heart's content and sing in high spirits, who shall scold me again? All my life long I let my purpose loose and take my own pleasure, and that is enough. Among the troop of entertainers I tip a thousand cups, and in the yard of the gallant swordsmen I contend at liubo (六博). That I have met you today is heaven's doing, and how much more that there is again wine like a flowing spring! Drinking heartily with you, I beat the spittoon, and my purpose is ten thousand li away, thinking to fly up. On what day shall the bold heart of a man of ardor come to an end? I lean my long sword up against the blue sky. Of fame and merit, of wealth and rank, there is nothing to say. The kings and the lords of days gone by are this morning mounds shaped like a horse's mane. Shi Chong's (石崇) Jingu (金谷) is buried in flowering grass, so where shall one look for the red gate? All of it is one round of dream. Look at Chunyu Fen (淳于棼) in the kingdom of the ants. I pour it full and drink your health — will you drink, my friend? The bright moon shines for me upon the golden wine jar.
