混漁父之餔歠兮，潔沐浴之振衣，棄由、聃之所珍兮，□庶彭鹹之所遺！ Share the fisherman's coarse fare, then bathe and shake out your robe; leave what Xu You and Laozi held dear—take up the path Peng Xian left behind!

浮彭蠡，目有虞，方椎夜光之流離，剖明月之珠胎，鞭洛水之虙妃，餉屈原與彭胥。 They float across Lake Pengli and gaze toward Youyu; they hammer night-shining crystal, split the wombs of moon-bright pearls, whip Lady Fu of the Luo, and offer a feast to Qu Yuan, Peng Xian, and Wu Zixu.
