Drinking Wine
        Jigong 1130-1209

Forest scenes expendable 
        I have Xiao Xiang Rivers,
My only wish Xihu 
        would morf into wine.
I'd lay down by Xihu,
In one gigantic gulp
        abruptly
                slurp it down!

Jìgōng 1130-1209

Héxū lín jǐng shèng XiāoXiang,
Xhǐ yuàn Xīhú huà wèi jiǔ.
Hé shēn wòdǎo Xīhū biān,
Yīlàng lái shí tūn yīkǒu.
