利登(生卒年不詳)字履道,號(hào)碧澗,南城(今屬江西)人,一說(shuō)金川(今屬四川)人。其家時(shí)為南城望族,他早年無(wú)意仕進(jìn),生活超脫,常與文友聚游登覽,賦詩(shī)論文。紹定二年(1229),汀州爆發(fā)農(nóng)民起義,很快波及南城。他帶著家人逃奔在外三年之久。淳祐元年(1241)方中進(jìn)士,時(shí)年歲已大,有詩(shī)道:“乾坤雙鬢改,日月寸心死。誓從鹿豕游,乃復(fù)叨一第”。歷官武安軍書記、寧都(今屬江西)縣尉。他是江湖派里比較樸素而不專講工致細(xì)巧的詩(shī)人。詩(shī)多記敘流離奔走之苦,間也觸及社會(huì)不合理現(xiàn)象,語(yǔ)言質(zhì)樸自然。著有《骳稿》1卷,《全宋詞》輯錄其詞13首。
《沽酒》 利登
有錢但沽酒,莫買南山田。
勾引催租人,驚散青松煙。
Wine
Li Teng
Should you have money, go
and buy wine,
never put it into buying land
on the southern slopes,
for should you do so
tax-collectors will come,
ever making trouble,
not even the clouds among the pines
remaining in peace.
