題友人梅花卷我家家在吳山住,路入梅花最深處, 天空歲晚雪紛飛,遶屋
寒香千萬樹。 花時日日醉花邊,酒醒長吟花下眠, 聽到翠禽啼欲斷,任
教明月照青天。 自從遊宧京華久,夢繞花前與花後, 故山花發想依然,
何遜才華已非舊。 霜臺御史繡衣人,藏得橫斜水面真, 一幅齊紈裁皎雪
,筆端渾是玉精神。 蕭齋凍雨檐花落,紙帳夜寒燈影薄, 恍然相對似還
家,春信依稀生綠萼。 綠萼春生日漸多,山中歸計尚蹉跎, 玉堂日醉宮
壺酒,其奈梅花似雪何。 何當便赴看花約,莫待霜天吹曉角, 詩成却向
畫中題,酒熟空思花下酌。
Inscribed on a friend’s handscroll [painting] of plum blossoms. [Poem translation forthcoming].

余素不能作詩,於詠梅詩尤不敢作。蓋古人賦詠者甚多,而鱠炙人口者絕寡。余雖欲繼其後
塵,惟恐點汙清格,未嘗道著一字。茲承見示詠梅十絕,索和甚力,勉為摹寫萬一。梅其有
靈,必為見誚。
探梅 (Seeking Plum Blossoms)
山廻風急馬行遲,雪墮松梢打接籬,昨夜陽春添得否,舊枝應不似新枝。
種梅 (Planting Plum Blossoms)
若無詩興如東閣,空有忘憂在北堂,移得孤根候旾色,林逋知我也非常。
觀梅 (Viewing Plum Blossoms)
兩眼看華正未昏,華含微笑欲譚論,世人只[我]愛 7顏如玉,心在天先用默存。
折梅 (Plucking Plum Blossoms) 百歲冰梢斗柄迴,一時斷折為華開,小窓雪後寒如水,何得紛
紛白蝶來。
浴梅 (Bathing Plum Blossoms)
紅帶束腰旾意淺,瓊漿入口玉顏開,飄飄欲訪西王母,無奈瑤池雨勒廻。
嚼梅 (Tasting Plum Blossoms)
蜜蜂空有一生狂,此味從來不得甞,我愛芳馨如齧雪,幸無蘇武九廻腸。
夢梅 (Dreaming Plum Blossoms)
彷彿山林見白雲,等閒冰雪冷詩魂,看華不到長安道,只在江南烟水邨。
畫梅 (Painting Plum Blossoms)
羣僊正欲乘風去,憑仗丹青喚得回,寶鴨焚香供燕坐,春風庭院綠牎 8開。
梅魂 (Soul of Plum Blossoms)
香滿羅幃凝不消,篴聲吹斷夜迢迢,霜蜚月落無尋處,欲倩青衣使者招。
玉頰凝寒強對人,今秊消瘐不勝春,相知只有窓前月,摹寫清風水上身。
右梅影 (At right: Shadows of Plum Blossoms)
四明烏斯衜,再拜元煇大掾先生。
I am usually unable to compose poetry, and especially would not dare to compose a poem on the
theme of plum blossoms, for while there are many verses composed on the theme by men of the
past, exceptionally few are popularly relished. And though I wished to follow in their dust, I was
afraid to defile the purity of the genre, and never uttered or wrote a single word. But now that I
have had the honor of being shown your “Ten Quatrains on the Theme of Plum Blossoms,” and
you have importuned me so mightliy to [compose a set of verses to] harmonize [with their
rhymes], I have exerted myself in emulating but one ten-thousandth [of their beauty]. As the plum
tree possesses an innate spirit, [my poems] surely must be reproved.

Master Yuanhui, the great administrator.

清曉衝寒去路 10遲,經行多傍水邊籬,投詩欲問春消息,已透孤山第幾枝。
右探梅 (At right: Seeking Plum Blossoms)

孤根入手帶冰霜,移向林逋舊草堂,分付兒童勤愛護,來春生意倍尋常。
右種梅 (At right: Planting Plum Blossoms)
雪消風暖月黃昏,滿目[風]春 11光不可論,看遍西湖舊遊路,好華今有幾株存。
右觀梅 (At right: Viewing Plum Blossoms)
只尺溪南幾往迴,疎花還向掌中開,隴頭近日無知已,前路休傳驛使來。
右折梅 (At right: Plucking Plum Blossoms)
露華如水滴瑤臺,冰雪襟懷偶試開,浣盡香塵清透骨,玉顏呈處百花廻。
右浴梅 (At right: Bathing Plum Blossoms)
手摘瑤花喜欲狂,箇中滋味許誰嘗,香鬚嚙破餘冰雪,沁入搜詩舊肺腸。
右嚼梅 (At right: Tasting Plum Blossoms)
醉來欹枕臥黎雲,夢逐寒香幾斷魂,一夜月華清似水,隨風又過嶺南村。
右夢梅 (At right: Dreamiing Plum Blossoms)
一枝和月臨窓几,便覺春從硯沼回,欲寫風神歸舊譜,毫端彷彿見花開。
右畫梅 (At right: Painting Plum Blossoms)
歷盡冰霜恨不消,冷風殘雪路迢迢,縱然夜落錢塘渚,未許山林俗士招。
右梅魂 (At right: Soul of Plum Blossoms)
稜稜瘦骨冷侵人,佔斷西湖水底春,昨夜小窓殘月暝,不知何處著吟身。
