12 魚玄機
[_]
七言 Seven-character
打毬作 Watching Them Play Polo

堅圓淨滑一星流。
月杖爭敲未擬休。
無滯礙時從撥弄。
有遮欄處任鉤留。
不辭宛轉長隨手。
卻恐相將不到頭。
畢竟入門應始了。
願君爭取最前籌。
Firm, round, clean and smooth, the ball goes by like a comet
the crescent-shaped sticks crack sharply nobody wants to stop
the riders, pulling free, chase each other, jostling
watch from behind the railing staying as long as I like
around and around they go the ball skipping just ahead of them
sometimes it seems as if they'll never score a goal
but having begun their game they ought to be able to finish it
and whoever plays the best ought to be given a prize.
