This is Du Fu?s earliest poem to Yan Wu ??, later Du Fu?s most supportive patron during his years in Sichuan. 5.17 Moon Up in heaven the date of autumn nears, the moon?s rays are clear in the human world. Entering the Starstream, the Toad does not sink, 4 the Hare lives forever, pounding its herbs.1 It only increases bitterness in a loyal heart, it can add brightness to my white hairs. If you know that the clash of arms fills the earth, 8 cease shining on the camp west of the capital.2 5.18 Detained on Parting by the Two Gentlemen of the Chancellery Jia [Zhi] and Yan [Wu] and the Rectifiers of Omissions of Both Ministries (I got the rhyme yun) I must go to my fields and gardens awhile, the warhorse regrets leaving the herd. Going off far, I leave a poem on parting, 4 my sadness great, I let myself get drunk on ale. All autumn long we have suffered the rain, today for the first time there are no clouds.
