VI. Huan Lan
VI
The Huan Lan; allusive. Picture of a conceited young man of rank.
1Feeble as branch of sparrow gourd, this youth,
Wears spike at girdle, as if he, forsooth,
Were quite a man; but though the spike he wears,
He knows not us at whom he proudly stares.
How easy and conceited is his mien!
How drop his girdle ends, full jaunty seen!
Wears spike at girdle, as if he, forsooth,
Were quite a man; but though the spike he wears,
He knows not us at whom he proudly stares.
How easy and conceited is his mien!
How drop his girdle ends, full jaunty seen!
2Like leaf of sparrow gourd, that coxcomb young,
With archer's thimble at his girdle hung!
He wears the thimble, but he's not the swell
To lord it over us who know him well.
How easy and conceited is his mien!
How drop his girdle ends, full jaunty seen!
