Chiang Chin Chiu Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGGHIJ

See the waters of the Yellow River leap down from Heaven Roll away to the deep sea and never turn again See at the mirrorA
in the High Hall Aged men bewailing white locks In the morning threads of silk In the evening flakes of snow Snatch the joysB
of life as they come and use them to the full Do not leave the silver cup idly glinting at the moon The things that Heaven madeC
Man was meant to use A thousand guilders scattered to the wind may come back again Roast mutton and sliced beef will onlyD
taste well If you drink with them at one sitting three hundred cups Great Master Ts' en Doctor Tan ch'iu Here is wine do notE
stop drinking But listen please and I will sing you a song Bells and drums and fine food what are they to me Who only wantF
to get drunk and never again be sober The Saints and Sages of old times are all stock and still Only the might drinkers of wineG
have left a name behind When the prince of Ch' en gave a feast in the Palace of P'ing lo With twenty thousand gallons of wineG
he loosed mirth and play The master of the feast must not cry that his money is all spent Let him send to the tavern and fetchH
wine to keep our tankards filled His five flower horse and thousand guilder coat Let him call the boy to take them along andI
pawn them for good wine That drinking together we may drive away the sorrows of a thousand yearsJ
