| 崔仁範。字德規。乃余少時交也。能文章。序記近古。庭試所製。濟川舟楫賦。行於世。亦非尋常應擧文字也。自少專工於詩。不屑屑於擧子文。登科未多歲而逝。亂後。遺藁散亡。今無寸紙餘。只記其嘗所自負者。其曰。嗅做舍僧頑似吏。餘來村馬弱如驢。又曰。過雨山坡無舊路。逢年澤國有新村。余時年尙少。未知其巧拙。有人示德規四韻詩四首於荷谷許篈。荷谷曰。四首之中。四首當入東文選。荷谷自好者。其論詩必不苟。以此可占其成家也 |

| Ch’oe Inbŏm 崔仁範 (16th century), styled Tŏkkyu, was my childhood friend. He was good at composition and his description verged on antiquity (kŭn’go). At the court examination, he composed “A Rhapsody on Crossing the River on a Boat” 濟川舟楫賦, which became known throughout the world. It was also not a common examination composition. Since youth, he concentrated on becoming skillful in poetry. He disdained examination writings and died not long after passing the examination. During the Imjin War his posthumous writings were scattered and lost, and today not even a very little of them remains. I only remember one poem he himself took pride in. The poem said, 喚做舍僧頑似吏賒來村馬弱如驢 What is called a monk is as stupid as an official.The villager’s horse bought on credit is as weak as a donkey. It also said, 過雨山坡無舊路逢年澤國有新村 After a passing rain, on the hillocks old paths are no more.In a bounty year, in the wetlands new villages are formed. At the time I was still young and did not understand the artistry in the poem. Someone showed four poems with four rhymes by Ch’oe to Hŏ Pong, and Hŏ said, “Of the four poems, three deserved to be included in the Tongmunsŏn (Anthology of Eastern Literature).” Hŏ is a man of great pride, so he must be thorough when he comments on poems. From this we can reckon that Ch’oe was an accomplished poet. |
