酬朱庆馀 – 張籍
越女新妆出镜心，
自知明艳更沉吟。
齐纨未足时人贵，
一曲菱歌敌万金。
A Quatrain by Zhang Ji
(A Reply to Zhu Qinyu）
Anon a belle of Yue in new dress we’ll behold,
She knows her show will shine but still shy to unfold.
Though many in dear silk, none could outshine the belle,
And more, her caltrop song outvalues myriad gold.
