1 Seeing Off Office Manager Cheng of the Guard Command on His Return Home1 This humble fellow is getting into his dotage, being sickly, my muddle-headedness increases.
Of those I often have contact with 4 I remember one, but don?
t recognize ten.
I met Master Cheng only recently, when talking with him, outstanding talent shows.
My ears and eyes are opened by his graciousness, 8 I strongly feel that it gets through to my understanding.
After a thousand years I have found my Bao Shu,2 I have achieved something by his willingness to befriend me.
Purpose concentrated, an old cypress green, 12 your sense of right stirs a long serpent hibernating.
3 If I could see this person often, it would console my weeping, hair hanging white.
When you announced your departure so soon, 16 a hundred cares again beset me.
Within I am embarrassed that my chimney is not blackened,4 but you have brought fine delicacies to help out. On a white string you carry a long fish, 20 sapphire ale is accompanied by jade grains of rice. 1 Original note: ? Cheng brought ale and food to meet me and take his leave? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? . 2 Guan Zhong lived in poverty, but Bao Shu treated him very well; and when Bao entered the service of the Count Huan of Qi, he recommended Guan Zhong. Guan Zhong eventually became Duke Huan? s chief minister.
