| 題名： | 夜宴醉後留... |
| 作者： | 白居易 |
| 九燭臺前十二姝 主人留醉任歡娛 翩翩舞袖雙飛蝶 宛轉歌聲一索珠 坐久欲醒還酩酊 夜深初散又踟躕 南山賓客東山妓 此會人間曾有無 | |

Twelve young beauties assemble
Before a nine-candled terrace.
The host, detaining his guests,
Lets them tipsily revel, just as they wish.
Sleeves of dancers flutter
As paired butterflies in flight;
Piercing sounds of their songs
Are a rope threaded with pearl.
We sit a long time
On the verge of growing sober,
Only to become once more
Hopelessly intoxicated.
In the depths of night
The guests from the southern mountain
And the whores from the eastern mountain
Scatter but first with uncertain steps.
Has such a party
Every been since time began?
Before a nine-candled terrace, twelve beauties; the host retains his guests, tipsily lets them delight and enjoy as they wish. The sleeves of the dancers flutter about, paired butterflies in flight; the pervasive sound of their songs a threaded pearl. Sitting long about to sober up only to become once again hopelessly intoxicated. In the depths of night then first we scatter but indecisive our steps. Southern mountain guests, eastern mountain whores— has there ever been such a party since time began? Twelve young beauties assemble Before a nine-candled terrace.
