元結

石魚湖上醉歌竝序

漫叟以公田米釀酒，因休暇，則載酒於湖上， 時取一醉；歡醉中，據湖岸，引臂曏魚取酒， 使舫載之，遍飲坐者。意疑倚巴丘，酌於君山 之上，諸子環洞庭而坐，酒舫泛泛然，觸波濤 而往來者，迺作歌以長之。

石魚湖， 似洞庭，

夏水欲滿君山青。

山爲樽， 水爲沼，

酒徒歷歷坐洲鳥。

長風連日作大浪， 不能廢人運酒舫。

我持長瓢坐巴丘， 酌飲四座以散愁。

A DRINKING SONG AT STONE-FISH LAKE

I have used grain from the public fields， for distilling wine. After my office hours I have the wine loaded on a boat and then I seat my friends on the bank of the lake. The little wine-boats come to each of us and supply us with wine. We seem to be drinking on Pa Islet in Lake Dongting. And I write this poem.

Stone-Fish Lake is like Lake Dongting ——

When the top of Zun is green and the summer tide is rising.

……With the mountain for a table， and the lake a fount of wine，

The tipplers all are settled along the sandy shore.

Though a stiff wind for days has roughened the water，

Wine-boats constantly arrive……

I have a long-necked gourd and， happy on Ba Island，

I am pouring a drink in every direction doing away with care.
