One Day in the Fifth Month, Libationer Mun Came Calling with Wine and Delicacies, and Presently Seon Master Hyeonwon Also Came with Wine and Fruit, So I Thanked Each with a Poem五月日。文祭酒携酒殽來訪。俄有玄源禪師。又携酒果來訪。各以詩謝之。
Dongguk Isangguk Jip (Collected Works of Minister Yi of the Eastern Country) Latter Collection, Book 10 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.
五紀同遊投分篤。三年方始枉驂來。箇中但喜携芳醞。宿怨渾消數四杯。
For sixty years we roamed together, and our affection was deep, yet only after three years have you bent your carriage and come. In it what gladdens me most is that you brought fragrant wine, and my old disappointment is all dissolved in three or four cups.

廷軾
This is Jeongsik (廷軾).
一樽澄醑綠涵涵。再挈猶多況復三。屢荷厚恩無以報。舌霑腸泛得無慙。
One jar of clear wine, green and brimming over — to have brought it twice were much already; how much more three times! Many times I have received your rich kindness with no way to repay it; wetting my tongue and floating my bowels, how can I be unashamed?
