As a Joke, Send This Gift to Host Xi

戏 赠 主 人

客 醉 眼 未 起
主 人 呼 解 酲。

已 言 鸡 黍 熟
复 道 瓮 头 清。

Xi Zeng Zhu Ren

Ke zui yan wei qi
Zhu ren hu jie cheng.                                                                                                                   Yi yan ji shu shu
Fu dao weng tou qing.

As a Joke, Send This Gift to Host Xi

Drunk guests with eyes not yet able to arise
The host cries out for me to come to.                                                                    Excessive ripe millet and the gawking of chickens
Again suppose the earthen wine jar empty of remnants.
