阳春曲·知几
Suffering not from over-drinking but from poetry composition.
不因酒困因诗困.
The drunkard spiritual state is often harassed by the poet's inspiration,
常被吟魂恼醉魂。
An idea man I find in the season's wind and moon pleasure of mine,
四时风月一闲身。
Though useless I am now,
无用人，
There is innocence in my indulgence in poetry and wine.
诗酒乐天真。
