一枝月桂和烟秀，万树江桃带雨红。

且醉尊前休怅望，古来悲乐与今同。

Following the Rhymes of a New Graduate’s Poem Mourning the Death of His Wife (Two Poems) II

Yu Xuanji

Blending with the mist, a single branch of moon cassia（1） is graceful,

Bearing the rain, myriad river-peach trees are red.

Get drunk a while in front of your goblet stop your sad gazing,

For, since olden times, sorrow and joy have been the same as today.

（1）. “Cassia” is homophonous with “honor”; successful examination candidates were therefore said to have “plucked cassia” (achieved honor).

（Jennifer Carpenter 译）

Two Verses, On Winning a Degree on Mourning 2

Yu Xuanji

A laurel branch stands out alone

distinguished in the mist;

myriad riverside peach trees

are crimson in the rain.

Drunk before the wine jar,

let me give up wishful thinking;

sorrows and joys since ancient times

are still the same today.

（Bannie Chow, Thomas Cleary 译）
