The Choo

He waited ’tween the gate and screen,
With ear-plug strings of white silk seen.
The plugs themselves had hwa-stones’ sheen.

He waited in the court and stood,
With ear-plug strings of silk green-hued.
The plugs themselves were yung stones good.

There in the hall he stood and stayed.
Of yellow silk his plug-strings made.
The plugs of fine ying gems displayed.
