　　石鱼湖上醉歌并序

　　漫叟以公田米酿酒，因休暇，则载酒于湖上， 时取一醉；欢醉中，据湖岸，引臂向鱼取酒， 使舫载之，遍饮坐者。意疑倚巴丘，酌于君山 之上，诸子环洞庭而坐，酒舫泛泛然，触波涛 而往来者，乃作歌以长之。

　　石鱼湖， 似洞庭，

　　夏水欲满君山青。

　　山为樽， 水为沼，

　　酒徒历历坐洲鸟。

　　长风连日作大浪， 不能废人运酒舫。

　　我持长瓢坐巴丘， 酌饮四座以散愁。

　　A DRINKING SONG AT STONE-FISH LAKE

　　I have used grain from the public fields, for distilling¹ wine. After my office hours I have the wine loaded on a boat and then I seat my friends on the bank of the lake. The little wine-boats come to each of us and supply us with wine. We seem to be drinking on Pa Islet in Lake Dongting. And I write this poem.

　　Stone-Fish Lake is like Lake Dongting ——

　　When the top of Zun is green and the summer tide is rising.

　　……With the mountain for a table, and the lake a fount of wine,

　　The tipplers all are settled along the sandy shore.

　　Though a stiff² wind for days has roughened the water,

　　Wine-boats constantly arrive……

　　I have a long-necked gourd³ and, happy on Ba Island,

　　I am pouring a drink in every direction doing away with care.
