The talented men cherished by Ling Liang
haven't been forgotten by the ages
here at Pengchih Lake today
visitors come from every direction
their carts and horses arrive with the dawn
covering city walls and dust
though we met but a moment ago
who needs a lifetime to become friends
you've been an official for thirty years
and not the only unfulfilled one
your illustrious name has long been mentioned
in the Great Hall we have many friends
so let's have some wine and play our zithers
and enjoy an auspicious day together
from this lone pavilion we can watch
the sun disappears at the ford
wealth and honor are yours for the taking
as you head west into Ch'in
autumn wind blows from dawn to dusk
and guests can't stay in Liang or Ch'en
