Yetgeul › Dongguk Isangguk Jip (Collected Works of Minister Yi of the Eastern Country) › Latter Collection, Book 4
On the Seventh Day of the Sixth Month I Called at the House of Academician Pak and Teased Him in Verse for Shrinking Deep Indoors and Not Going Out六月七日。訪朴學士家。以詩嘲深縮不出遊。
Dongguk Isangguk Jip (Collected Works of Minister Yi of the Eastern Country) Latter Collection, Book 4 The collected writings of Yi Gyubo of Goryeo, gathered and cut in woodblock by his son Yi Ham in 1241 and revised and enlarged by his grandson Yi Ikbae in 1251. It holds poems and rhapsodies, memorials and reports sent up to the king, records written for temples and pagodas, stele and tomb inscriptions, letters and prefaces, and the state letters that passed to and from the Mongols during the invasions. The Lay of King Dongmyeong, which sings the founder of Goguryeo, stands in volume 3 of the first collection, and the daily life of a man who called himself the White Cloud Layman — with his wine, his zither and his verse — fills the later collection. The book closes with the last poem he wrote as his eyes failed and he laid down the brush, and with the dirge and tomb inscription others made for him after his death.
故人家宅合相過。何事深藏似縮蛙。應有小蠻樊素在。朝昏貪聽柳枝歌。
A friend's house is one we may well call at, so why do you hide yourself deep like a frog drawn in? Perhaps you have someone like Soman (小蠻) or Beonso (樊素), and morning and evening you are greedy to hear the song "Willow Branch."

I said this because he kept one entertainer at his house.
