玳瑁玉匣之雕琴。
七彩芙蓉之羽帐，
An incense burner sculpted and carved With the fairy love tale of Qin Maid.
九华蒲萄之锦衾。
红颜零落岁将暮，
When my man and I made love at night, Between curtains and candles the burner was laid.
寒光宛转时欲沉。
愿君裁悲且减思，
Its brilliant carving glistened in the light While its musk incense scattered in the shade.
听我抵节行路吟。
不见柏梁铜雀上，
Now that my dear man has deserted me, I have to face the burner with no aid.
