    宫词

    十二楼中尽晓妆， 望仙楼上望君王。

    锁衔金兽连环冷， 水滴铜龙昼漏长。

    云髻罢梳还对镜， 罗衣欲换更添香。

    遥窥正殿帘开处， 袍裤宫人扫御床。

    A PALACE POEM

    In twelve che day,

    Peer afar for their Fairy-View Lodge;

    toad guards the door-chain,

    And ter-clock drips the morning

    till one of tilting a mirror, combs her cloud of hair

    And c and a c;

    For she palace,

    Eunuc-dress preparing a bed.

    秦韬玉

    贫女

    蓬门未识绮罗香， 拟托良媒益自伤。

    谁爱风流高格调， 共怜时世俭梳妆。

    敢将十指夸针巧， 不把双眉斗画长。

    苦恨年年压金线， 为他人作嫁衣裳。

    Living under a tc silk,

    So arrange a marriage, but how could she dare?

    of them all

    her fingers embroider beyond compare,

    But s vie ed brows;

    And year after year shread

    On bridal robes for other girls.
