石鱼湖上醉歌并序
元结
漫叟以公田米酿酒，因休暇，则载酒于湖上， 时取一醉；欢醉中，据湖岸，引臂向鱼取酒， 使舫载之，遍饮坐者。意疑倚巴丘，酌于君山 之上，诸子环洞庭而坐，酒舫泛泛然，触波涛 而往来者，乃作歌以长之。
石鱼湖， 似洞庭，
夏水欲满君山青。
山为樽， 水为沼，
酒徒历历坐洲鸟。
长风连日作大浪， 不能废人运酒舫。
我持长瓢坐巴丘， 酌饮四座以散愁。
a drinking song at stone-fish lake
yuan jie
i have used grain from the public fields, for distilling wine. after my office hours i have the wine loaded on a boat and then i seat my friends on the bank of the lake. the little wine-boats come to each of us and supply us with wine. we seem to be drinking on pa islet in lake dongting. and i write this poem.
stone-fish lake is like lake dongting --
when the top of zun is green and the summer tide is rising.
...with the mountain for a table, and the lake a fount of wine,
the tipplers all are settled along the sandy shore.
though a stiff wind for days has roughened the water,
wine-boats constantly arrive....
i have a long-necked gourd and, happy on ba island,
i am pouring a drink in every direction doing away with care.
