長卿牢落悲空舍，曼倩詼諧取自容。 
見買若耶溪水劍，明朝歸去事猿公。 

英譯 / English Translation﹕

The South Garden (the seventh of the south garden)_Tang: Li-He

            Empty housed one named as
            Chang Qin yet downed on his luck a fellow
            Sounded but a true talent scholar was;
            And, another comedian form a humorist genius fellow
            Named as Man-Qian within daily excess incenses
              —Barely not to be none of them:
            Turn the noble spirit of mine
                     into a sword, Stream-Ye sharpened,
            One more day and l’d learn swordsmanship from
            The White-Ape, be at my will to start.
