The Jade Mountain/A Message to Secretary Ling-hu

​
A MESSAGE TO SECRETARY LING-HU
I am far from the clouds of Sung Mountain, a long way from trees in Ch'in;
And I send to you a message carried by two carp:
—Absent this autumn from the Prince's garden,
There's a poet at Mao-ling sick in the rain.

(39, 39a)
