��Three hundred sixty days a year

Drunk I lie, like mud every day.

Though you're married to Tai-po, wife,

You might as well have been the Tai-chang's spouse.

��Tai-chang is the title of a religious officer in the gov- ernment of the Han dynasty. Here a Tai-chang of the latter Han dynasty is alluded to, who was noted for liis wine-bibbing propensity.
