How admirable — the fine gentleman
How admirable — the fine gentleman,
In spare moments so often trying his hand at poetry!
His old-style verse is modeled on Han and Wei works;
For modern style, he makes the Tang his teacher;
With what elegance he shapes his compositions,
Adding touches that are striking and new
But since he never writes of things in the heart,
However many he may turn out, what's the point?
