《醉后赠张九旭》 高适
世上漫相识，此翁殊不然。
兴来书自圣，醉后语犹颠。
白发老闲事，青云在目前。
床头一壶酒，能更几回眠？
For the drunken Calligrapher
Gao Shi
People may make friends with the throng;
This sage sings a different song.
In verve he’ll write as floating cloud;
When drank as mad, he would talk loud.
Though white-haired, he loves to be free.
From royal favor could he flee?
With a put of wine by his bed,
How long can he still rest his head?
