But he had no time to conclude, as Chia Cheng flew into a rage. Drive him off, he shouted; (but as Pao-yue) was on the point of going out, he again cried out: Come back! make up, he added, another couplet, and if it isnt clear, Ill for all this give you a slap on your mouth.
Pao-yue had no alternative but to recite as follows:
A spot in which the Ko fibre to bleach, as the fresh tide doth swell the waters GREen! A beauteous halo and a fragrant smell the man encompass who the cress did pluck!
Chia Cheng, after this recital, nodded his head. This is still worse! he remarked, but as he reproved him, he led the company outside, and winding past the mound, they penetrated among flowers, and wending their steps by the willows, they touched the rocks and lingered by the stream. Passing under the trellis with yellow roses, they went into the shed with white roses; they crossed by the pavilion with peonies, and walked through the garden, where the white peony GREw; and entering the court with the cinnamon roses, they reached the island of bananas. As they meandered and zigzagged, suddenly they heard the rustling sound of the water, as it came out from a stone cave, from the top of which grew parasitic plants drooping downwards, while at its bottom floated the fallen flowers.
What a fine sight! they all exclaimed; what beautiful scenery!
