Drunk, given to Master Kim Won醉贈金君瑗
金君生富貴。襟韻蕭洒。工書能詩。少年得志。頗極豪華。偶以事長流嶺南。幾二十年矣。今有赦召還京輦。予始見於內侍柳君家。金君欣然如舊相識。予酒酣。走筆贈之。
Master Kim was born into a wealthy and noble house, yet his bearing was free and open; he wrote a fine hand and was skilled in poetry. Gaining his purpose while young, he gave himself over to splendor to the full, but he was caught up by chance in an affair and was banished far to Yeongnam for nearly twenty years. Now, an amnesty having come, he has been called back to the capital. I saw him for the first time at the house of Master Yu of the Inner Attendants (內侍), and Master Kim was as glad as though we were old acquaintances. My wine being at its height, I gallop my brush and give him this poem.

幷序
A preface is included with it.
鷄林先生謫仙人。羅綺叢中富貴身。蓬萊殿上醉脫靴。誤將飛燕譬太眞。一朝謫向江南天。醉臥煙花二十春。玉籠那致九包鳳。金鎖難馴五色麟。快揮張旭筆。狂着陶潛巾。煕煕太平日。自號陶唐民。金雞放赦向京洛。京洛多風塵。又欲掉臂涉千里。相逢拊手空揮淚。見君飄然雲外心。一餉功名眞弊屣。行矣善保千金軀。南北東西亦是一天地。
Master Gyerim is an immortal come into exile, and he was a man of wealth and rank among the companies of silk. Upon the Penglai Hall he was drunk and had his shoes taken off, and wrongly he likened Zhao Feiyan (趙飛燕) to Yang Taizhen (楊太眞). In a single morning he was banished to the sky of Gangnam, and it is twenty springs that he has lain drunk among the misted flowers. How should a jade cage take in a phoenix of nine folds? And with a golden chain it is hard to tame a five-colored qilin. He wields the brush of Zhang Xu (張旭) with a free hand, and wears the kerchief of Tao Qian (陶潛) as though he were mad. In the harmonious days of great peace he calls himself a subject of Taotang (陶唐). By the golden cock he is pardoned and turns toward the capital, but in the capital there is much wind and dust. And now again, swinging his arms, he would cross a thousand li, and at our meeting we clap our hands and scatter idle tears. Seeing how your heart floats free beyond the clouds, fame and merit, which are as one meal, are truly a worn-out shoe. Go then, and keep well that body worth a thousand in gold: south and north, east and west are likewise one heaven and earth.
