(100) To My Readers Before My Death
临别口号遍谢弥 天大人谬知我者
Jin Sheng-tan (1608-1661)
金圣叹
We're far apart as sky from earth or the four nooks;
东西南北海天疏，
You make light of ten thousand miles to find my books.
万里来寻圣叹书。
I've left my son who loves but reading 'neath the sky.
圣叹只留书种在，
Would you please look on him with favorable eye?
累君青眼看何如？
