 130. TO LI PO ON A SPRING DAY

Po, the poet unrivaled,

In fancy's realm you soar alone.

Yours is the delicacy of Yui,

And Pao's rare virility.

Now on the north of the Wei River

I see the trees under the vernal sky

While you wander beneath the sunset clouds

Far down in Chiang-tung.

When shall we by a cask of wine once more

Argue minutely on versification?

Tu Fu.

��Yui and Pao refer respectively to Yui Hsin and Pao Chao, both noted poets of the 6th century, [193]
