Li Shanyin: Quite Effortlessly, A Gold Tortoise Official She Wed; 李商隐 無端嫁得金龜婿,辜負香衾事早朝。

Wéi Yǒu: Because
-- Li Shanyin (813-858)
-- Translated by Frank C Yue

Because of the carved marble her screen was a beauty rare;
Yet, at the Capital each cool Spring morning she despair'd.
Quite effortlessly, a Gold Tortoise official she wed;
For early Court he vacated too soon her perfumed bed!


《为有》 唐 · 李商隐

为有云屏无限娇, 凤城寒尽怕春宵。
无端嫁得金龟婿, 辜负香衾事早朝。


【為有】 唐 · 李商隐

為有雲屏無限嬌, 鳳城寒盡怕春宵。
無端嫁得金龜婿, 辜負香衾事早朝。
