Entry Text
丙寅東槎之役。鄭東溟以白衣從而不善於酬唱。故一行皆輕之。然統軍亭前江作池一律。可壓諸公累篇。第未知與東岳六月龍灣積雨啨。優劣何如也。白馬千夫擁。黃雲六鎭陰。一句。可壓北行諸人
In the year of pyŏngin (1626) an imperial mission came to our country, Chŏng Tugyŏng served as a Diplomatic Administrative Attendant without a rank (paegŭi chongsagwan). But he was not good at composing response poems, so the whole entourage looked down upon him. Yet his one regulated verse, “The river by T’onggun Pavilion formed a pond” 統軍亭前江作池 could outweigh many poems by all the others. Between that poem and Yi Annul’s “In the sixth month in Yongman, a long rain has cleared” 六月龍灣積雨晴, I do not know which is better. With one line, 白馬千夫擁黃雲六鎮陰 White horses surround a thousand soldiers.Yellow clouds shroud six towns. he can outdo all who went north.
