Drunken song on Stone Fish Lake with preface
Stone-fish Lake resembles Dongting,
Summer waters swelling, Jun Hill green.
The hills serve as cups, the waters as a pool,
Drinkers sit scattered across isles and shoals.
Strong winds for days on end whip up great waves,
Yet they cannot halt the boats that ferry wine.
I sit at Ba Hill holding a long ladle,
Pouring drink for all around to dispel our sorrow.
石魚湖上醉歌並序
石魚湖，似洞庭，夏水欲滿君山青。
山爲一作「為」樽，水爲沼，酒徒歷歷坐洲島。
長風連日作大浪，不能廢人運酒舫。
我持長瓢坐巴丘，酌飲四座以散愁。
