Son Deukji of the Jade Hall, Yi Yunbo of the Historiography Office, Wang Sung of the Historiography Office, Kim Cheol, Academician (內翰), and Oh Jugyeong of the Historiography Office Having Replied, I Matched the Rhymes Again and Answered孫玉堂得之，李史館允甫，王史館崇，金內翰轍，吳史館柱卿見和。復次韻答之。
昔者神農嘗草木。著之方經要補氣。獨於茗飮棄不收。不與萬品論同異。聖所未到誰唱先。蠲昏釋䬼尤所嗜。近遭販鬻多眩眞。競落點商謀計裏。有如俗醫迷仙方。妄把蘡薁云是蘽。箇中評品妙且精。唯有雲峯一禪子。平生自笑臘後芽。辛香辣氣堪掩鼻。偶得蒙山第一摘。不待烹煎先嚼味。狂客一見呼孺茶。無奈老境貪幼稚。不是江南冒雪收。京華二月何能致。物之自售皆由人。珠玉亦猶無脛至。作詩論詰欲代譜。筆端無舌莫詳備。要令儒仙抉其精。硬牋麤字書以寄。五君騁思探淵源。毫髮莫逃如印水。見詩猶勝見茶經。陸生所品糟粕耳。調高未合綴離騷。當繫詩篇聯四始。
Long ago Shennong tasted the plants and the trees and set them down in medical books to aid the vital force. Only the drinking of tea he left out and did not gather in, nor did he discuss how it is like or unlike all other things. Who first called out what the sage had not reached? It clears away turbidity and loosens a blocked stomach, so men enjoy it the more. Of late it often meets with traders who muddy what is true, and men fall, scrambling, into the merchants' schemes. It is like a common physician, in the dark about an immortal's prescription, who recklessly points at a wild grape and calls it a hardy kiwi. Among them all, the one whose judgment is subtle and exact is only that one child of Seon (禪子) at Unbong. All his life he has laughed at shoots that come after the twelfth month, for their pungent scent and biting force were enough to stop the nose. Now he has come by a first flush from Mongsan (蒙山) and chewed and tasted it even before it was brewed. A mad wanderer saw it once and called it Yucha — what is to be done about craving the young in one's late years? If it were not gathered in Gangnam in the teeth of the snow, how in the capital would one get it in the second month? That a thing sells of itself depends wholly upon people; pearls and jade too arrive without legs. I would make a poem and reckon it out in place of a tea register (茶譜), but my brush tip has no tongue and cannot set it out in full. So that the scholar-immortals may dig out its essence I write in coarse characters on stiff paper and send it off. You five have raced your thoughts and groped out the source, leaving out nothing so much as a hair, as a seal stamped in water. Reading your poems is better than reading the Classic of Tea; what Lu Yu judged is nothing but dregs. The strain is too high to be joined to the "Lisao"; it should rather be bound to the Odes and joined to the Four Beginnings (四始).
