洪摠郞侃最喜鄭承宣襲明。
近世豐州有名妓。西京存問使召置府籍。妓頗以晩遇恨。李學士顗作一詩令妓歌之。
총랑 홍간은 승선 정습명의 다음 시를 제일 좋아하였다.
요즈음 풍주에 이름난 기생이 있는데, 서경존문사가 불러다 부의 기적에다 넣어두고 늦게 만난 것을 자못 한탄하였다. 학사 이의가 시를 한 수 지어 기생에게 노래 부르게 하였다.
Section Chief (ch’ongnang) Hong Kan 洪侃 (d. 1304) loved the following poem by Edict Transmitter (sŭngsŏn) Chŏng Sŭmmyŏng 鄭襲明 (d. 1151).
Amidst hundreds of flowers, is your elegant and lush face!
Suddenly, a wild wind blows, Diminishing that rosy hue. Even otters’ marrow cannot restore your fair cheeks.
Oh, lads of the Five Hills! Your disappointment knows no boundsIn recent times, there was a famous kisaeng in P’ungju. The Greeting Official (chonmunsa) of the Western Capital summoned her and listed her name in the official kisaeng registry. She regretted that she had not met him earlier. Scholar Yi Ŭi 李顗 (ca. 1080) wrote a poem and had her sing it.
