Love
Spretæ Injuria Formæ
Translated by Herbert A. Giles (1898) · From Chinese Poetry in English Verse (1898)
Love
See! fair girls are flocking, through corridors bright,
With music and mirth borne along on the breeze
Come, tell me if she who is favoured tonight
Has eyebrows much longer than these?
