哭亡姬乔氏
[清]李渔
各事纷纷一笔销，
安心蓬户[1]伴渔樵[2]。
赠予宛转[3]情千缕，
偿汝零星泪一瓢。
偕老愿终来世约，
独栖甘度[4]可怜宵。
休言再觅同心侣，
岂复人间有二乔[5]！

Heart-broken Song[1]
Li Yu
The bygones one and all like dreams have passed away;
I’d live with fishermen in thatched cot night and day.
Can I forget your tenderness like endless thread?
Could I repay you with a stream of tears I shed?
If in another life we could be man and wife,
I would live with delight my lonely day and night.
Do not tell me to marry a beauty anew!
Could I find one on earth who knows my heart like you?
注释：
[1]This was an elegy written to a fair actress who was married to the poet-playwright at 13 and died at 19.
