徐燦·《南唐浣溪沙·十四夜》

已是華燈照綺筵，

漸添奇巧斗新懸。

明月似嫌芳景速，

不輕圓。

佳節(jié)最憐前一日，

舊歡長算幾何年。

可惜金吾猶禁夜，

促游鞭。

Nantang huan xi sha:

The Night of the Fourteenth1

Xu Can

They’ve used decorated lanterns to light up damask seats;

Now wondrous touches are added, new hangings rival one another.

The bright moon seems averse to the lovely sights’ haste,

And doesn’t readily round.

I love best the day before a festival,

Often reckoning how long past happiness did last.

Too bad the capital guards still enforce curfew,

Urging back the roving whips.
