 [57] TO LIU YU-HSI

length of days and soundness of limb you and I are one; Our eyes are not wholly blind, nor our ears quite deaf. Deep drinking we lie together, fellows of a spring day; Or gay-hearted boldly break into gatherings of young men. When, seeking flowers, we borrowed his horse, the river-keeper was vexed; When, to play on the water, we stole his boat, the Duke Ling was sore. I hear it said that in Lo-yang, people are all shocked, And call us by the name of "Liu and Po, those two mad old men." [90]
