Matching the Rhymes of Chancellor Geum's Poem Rejoicing in the Birth of a Daughter's Son, and Sending It to Choe Hongyun, Joint Manager of Affairs次韻琴相國喜得外孫有作。寄崔平章洪胤。

The talent of the gentleman Ham (咸郞) is known to all the world, and offering a wild goose at a lofty house, he early met the omen. An outstanding child was born at night, and his light lit up the room; guests came in the morning to congratulate, and their lapels made a curtain. Had you not sought a good son-in-law from another surname, how should you have got, among many grandsons, a child beyond the common? Why wait for Grand Commandant Wen (温大尉), who knew a cry when he heard it? And why trouble the Zen master Zhi (誌禪師), who stroked the crown of the head? His feathers will one day be a crane that pierces the sky, and his spirit should swallow the great bear that uproots trees. If you would test whether my words fit like the halves of a tally, in later days take this one poem for your proof.

I knew early that you would be used as a chief minister, for I saw on the soles of your feet the tread of a patterned tortoise. With a title of water you were once attached to the Red Gauze Office (紅綃署), and your jade-like countenance I saw close at hand long ago in the purple silk curtain. Your rich favor has soaked all the guests of your gate, and its fragrance has been laid even on the suckling child. The three gifted ones are together the fair scholars of the state, and you are the teacher of kings, soon to be enfeoffed with ten thousand households. Your name has spread throughout Jianghuai and bends the grass and trees; your awe reaches the barbarians and makes bear and great bear afraid. The poems you make at leisure from your duties hold much warning and satire, and were they handed down as music-bureau songs they would at once be elegant verse.
