Qiǎn Huái 遣怀 Reflecting on the Past by 杜牧 (Dù Mù)

luò pò jiāng nán zài jiǔ xíng, chǔ yāo cháng duàn zhǎng zhōng qīng.

落魄江南载酒行，楚腰肠断掌中轻。

Down and out, I wandered through the South carrying my wine; Amidst slender waists that break the heart and bodies light as if in a palm.

shí nián yī jiào yáng zhōu mèng, yíng dé qīng lóu bó xìng míng.

十年一觉扬州梦，赢得青楼薄幸名。

Ten years in Yangzhou now seem but a single dream, Leaving me only with the name of a heartless lover in the blue houses.
