Witty Chinese Couplet
- by Anon
- Translated by Frank C Yue
Above the manor two Cranes a-dancing;
All the Fairies' dear crescent Moon
By the Jade Flute's sad notes is being melted.
Up from the terrace the Phoenix soaring;
Beauty's soothing breeze by mournful tunes
Of the Purple Flute is, alas, truncated!
巧對佚名
鶴舞樓頭, 玉笛弄殘仙子月。
鳳翔臺上, 紫簫吹斷美人風。
