ve thought of a couplet, interposed one of the party, which youll all have to criticise, and put into ship-shape; its burden is this:
the musk-like epidendrum smell enshrouds the court, where shines the sun with oblique beams; The iris fragrance is wafted over the isle illumined by the moons clear rays.
As far as excellence is concerned, its excellent, observed the whole party, but the two words representing with oblique beams are not felicitous.
And as some one quoted the line from an old poem:
the angelica fills the court with tears, what time the sun doth slant.
Lugubrious, lugubrious! expostulated the company with one voice.
Another person then interposed. I also have a couplet, whose merits you, gentlemen, can weigh; it runs as follows:
Along the three pathways doth float the Yue Hui scented breeze! The radiant moon in the whole hall shines on the gold orchid!
Chia Cheng tugged at his moustache and gave way to meditation. He was just about also to suggest a stanza, when, upon suddenly raising his head, he espied Pao-yue standing by his side, too timid to give vent to a single sound.
How is it, he purposely exclaimed, that when you should speak, you contrariwise dont? Is it likely that you expect some one to request you to confer upon us the favour of your instruction?
