A Song (by Cao Mengde/Emperor Wu of the Wei Dynasty)
Wine before us, sing a song.How long does life last?
It is like the morning dew;
Sad so many days have passed.
Sing hey, sing ho!
Deep within my heart I pine.
Nothing can dispel my woe,
Save Du Kang, the god of wine.
Blue, blue the scholar's robe;
Long, long for him I ache.
Preoccupied with you, my lord;
Heavy thoughts for your sake.
To each other cry the deer,
Nibbling grass upon the plain.
When a good friend visits me,
We'll play the lyre once again.
In the sky, the moon is bright;
Yet I can reach it never.
In my heart such sorrow dwells,
Remaining with me ever.
In the fields, our paths crossed;
Your visit was so kind.
Together after our long parting,
Your favours come to mind.
Clear the moon, few the stars;
The crows in southward flight.
Circling three times round the tree,
No branch where to alight.
What if the mountain is high,
Or how deep the sea?
When the Duke of Zhou greeted a guest,
In his service all wished to be.
We are our own damn coffins.

And yes, I do RP him, haven't in a while, since I was busy, but getting in his mind and playing him is a challenge but it's bloody fun! : D
Pleasure to meet you ! : D
