Viewing Peonies at Good Fortune Temple
Su Shi 1036-1101

At my age I'm not abashed wearing a flower in my hair;
The flower should be the one abashed getting up there.
Coming home drunk and wobbly I heard people giggle,
Half the households across town upped their curtains for the tickle.

Rén lǎo zān huā bú zì xiū,
Huā yīng xiū shàng lǎo rén tóu.
Zuì guī fú lù rén yīng xiào,
Shí lǐ zhū lián bàn shàng gōu.
