Original Text
高麗將仕郎永泰。善俳優戱。忠惠王獵。每呈優戲。王投泰于水中。泰撇捩而出。王大笑問曰。汝從何處去。今從何處來。泰對曰。往見屈原而來。王曰。屈原云何。對曰。原云。我逢暗主投江死。汝遇明君底事來。王喜賜銀甌一事。旁有虞人見之。亦投于水。王令人捉髮而出。推問其故。虞人云。往見屈耳。王曰。屈云何。虞人曰。彼何言。我何言。三軍騰笑。

Korean Translation

고려 장사랑(將仕郞) 영태(永泰)는 광대놀이를 잘하였다. 영태가 충혜왕(忠惠王)을 따라 사냥을 갔을 때도 늘 광대놀이를 하니, 임금은 그를 물 속에 던져버렸다. 영태가 물을 헤치고 나오니, 임금은 크게 웃으며, “너는 어디로 갔다가 지금 어디서 오느냐.” 하니, 영태는 “굴원(屈原)을 보러 갔다가 옵니다.” 하였다. 임금이 “굴원이 뭐라고 하드냐.” 하니, “굴원이, ‘나는 어리석은 임금을 만나 강에 몸을 던져죽었지만, 너는 명군(明君)을 만났는데 어찌되어 왔느냐.’ 하였습니다.” 하니, 임금은 기뻐서 은구(銀甌) 하나를 주었다. 옆에 있던 우인(虞人 사냥하는 하급관리)이 이것을 보고 역시 물에 몸을 던졌다. 임금이 사람을 시켜 머리칼을 붙잡고 끌어내서 그 이유를 물으니, “우인은 굴원을 보러 갔다.” 하였다. 임금이, “굴원이 뭐라고 하드냐.” 하니, 우인이, “그인들 뭐라 말하겠으며, 낸들 무엇이라 말하겠습니까.” 하니, 삼군(三軍)이 크게 웃었다.

English Translation

Yŏng T’ae 永泰 (15th century), Koryŏ’s Gentleman for Ceremonial Service (changsarang), was skilled in theatrical plays. When King Ch’unghye 忠惠王 (1315–1344) went hunting, Yŏng T’ae always accompanied him and performed theatrical plays. During one of these occasions, the king threw him into the water. When Yŏng T’ae emerged from the water and shook himself off, the king burst into laughter and asked, “Where did you go and where are you coming from? Yŏng replied, “I went to have a visit with Qu Yuan.” The king inquired further, “What did Qu Yuan say?” Yŏng responded, “He said, ‘I threw myself in the river because I met a vacuous ruler. You have met an enlightened ruler. What brings you down here?’ The king was pleased with the response and bestowed an urn made of silver to Yŏng. A keeper of the royal garden who witnessed this incident nearby threw himself into the water as well. The king ordered someone to pull him out by his hair and personally asked for the reason behind his action. The keeper of the garden replied, “I also came back from a visit with Qu Yuan.” The king questioned, “What did Qu Yuan say?” The keeper of the garden answered, “Yŏng T’ae has already said everything. I can say whatever I can say.” All the military men present roared with laughter.
