范成大·《四時田園雜興·炙背檐前》
蜩螗千萬沸斜陽,蛙黽無邊聒夜長。
不把癡聾相對治,夢魂爭得到藜床?
Seasonal Poems on Fields and Gardens
Fan Ch'eng-ta
Under the eaves, their back burned by the sun as hot as fire—
As if flushed with wine, they doze off half-asleep.
Galloping past their door, what titleholder is this man,
With his hat askew and whip tucked in his sleeves, battling the north wind?
