  Though it is the warning of the old to refrain from women and wine / when I recite poems with my friends on the Double Third and Double Ninth, with a gobletful of fragrant wine about, what could I do if not get drunk / and when I face the cold lamps at some inn—alone unable to sleep—and I meet a jade-like beauty then, what could I do if not sleep with her?
