​[46] GOOD-BYE TO THE PEOPLE OF HANGCHOW
[A.D. 824]
Elders and officers line the returning road; Wine and soup load the parting table. I have not ruled you with the wisdom of Shao Kung; What is the reason your tears should fall so fast? My taxes were heavy, though many of the people were poor; The farmers were hungry, for often their fields were dry. All I did was to dam the water of the Lake And help a little in a year when things were bad.

* ↑ Po Chü-i built the dam on the Western Lake which is still known as "Po's dam."
# More Translations from the Chinese/Hearing that His Friend was Coming Back from the War

​[66] HEARING THAT HIS FRIEND WAS COMING BACK FROM THE WAR
In old days those who went to fight In three years had one year's leave. But in this war the soldiers are never changed; They must go on fighting till they die on the battle-field. I thought of you, so weak and indolent, Hopelessly trying to learn to march and drill. That a young man should ever come home again Seemed about as likely as that the sky should fall. Since I got the news that you were coming back, Twice I have mounted to the high hall of your home. I found your brother mending your horse's stall; I found your mother sewing your new clothes. I am half afraid; perhaps it is not true; Yet I never weary of watching for you on the road. Each day I go out at the City Gate With a flask of wine, lest you should come thirsty. Oh that I could shrink the surface of the World, So that suddenly I might find you standing at my side.
# More Translations from the Chinese/Hearing the Early Oriole

​[34] HEARING THE EARLY ORIOLE
[Written in exile]
When the sun rose I was still lying in bed; An early oriole sang on the roof of my house. For a moment I thought of the Royal Park at dawn When the Birds of Spring greeted their Lord from his trees. I remembered the days when I served before the Throne Pencil in hand, on duty at the Ch'ēng-ming; At the height of spring, when I paused an instant from work, Morning and evening, was this the voice I heard? Now in my exile the oriole sings again In the dreary stillness of Hsün-yang town . . . The bird's note cannot really have changed; All the difference lies in the listener's heart. If he could but forget that he lives at the World's end, The bird would sing as it sang in the Palace of old.

​[24] ILLNESS AND IDLENESS
[Circa A.D. 812]
Illness and idleness give me much leisure. What do I do with my leisure, when it comes? I cannot bring myself to discard inkstone and brush; Now and then I make a new poem. When the poem is made, it is slight and flavourless, A thing of derision to almost every one. Superior people will be pained at the flatness of the metre; Common people will hate the plainness of the words. I sing it to myself, then stop and think about it . . . ********* The Prefects of Soochow and P'ēng-tsē Would perhaps have praised it, but they died long ago. Who else would care to hear it? No one to-day except Yüan Chēn, And he is banished to the City of Chiang-ling, For three years an usher in the Penal Court. Parted from me by three thousand leagues He will never know even that the poem was made.
# More Translations from the Chinese/In Early Summer Lodging in a Temple to Enjoy the Moonlight

​[13] IN EARLY SUMMER LODGING IN A TEMPLE TO ENJOY THE MOONLIGHT
[A.D. 805]
In early summer, with two or three more That were seeking fame in the city of Ch'ang-an, Whose low employ gave them less business Than ever they had since first they left their homes,— With these I wandered deep into the shrine of Tao, For the joy we sought was promised in this place. When we reached the gate, we sent our coaches back; We entered the yard with only cap and stick. Still and clear, the first weeks of May, When trees are green and bushes soft and wet; When the wind has stolen the shadows of new leaves And birds linger on the last boughs that bloom. Towards evening when the sky grew clearer yet And the South-east was still clothed in red, To the western cloister we carried our jar of wine; While we waited for the moon, our cups moved slow. Soon, how soon her golden ghost was born, Swiftly, as though she had waited for us to come. The beams of her light shone in every place, On towers and halls dancing to and fro. Till day broke we sat in her clear light Laughing and singing, and yet never grew tired. In Ch'ang-an, the place of profit and fame, Such moods as this, how many men know?
# More Translations from the Chinese/Introduction

INTRODUCTION
This book is not intended to be representative of Chinese literature as a whole. I have chosen and arranged chronologically various pieces which interested me and which it seemed possible to translate adequately.
An account of the history and technique of Chinese poetry will be found in the introduction to my last book. Learned reviewers must not suppose that I have failed to appreciate the poets whom I do not translate. Nor can they complain that the more famous of these poets are inaccessible to European readers; about a hundred of Li Po's poems have been translated, and thirty or forty of Tu Fu's. I have, as before, given half my space to Po Chü-i, of whose poems I had selected for translation a much larger number than I have succeeded in rendering. I will give literal versions of two rejected ones:
EVENING
[A.D. 835]
Water's colour at-dusk still white; Sunsets glow in-the-dark gradually nil. Windy lotus shakes [like] broken fan; Wave-moon stirs [like] string [of] jewels. Crickets chirping answer one another; Mandarin-ducks sleep, not alone. Little servant repeatedly announces night; Returning steps still hesitate.
IN EARLY SPRING ALONE CLIMBING THE T'IEN-KUNG PAGODA
[A.D. 389]
While many of the pieces in "170 Chinese Poems" aimed at literary form in English, others did no more than give the sense of the Chinese in almost as crude a way as the two examples above. It was probably because of this inconsistency that no reviewer treated the book as an experiment in English unrhymed verse, though this was the aspect of it which most interested the writer.
In the present work I have aimed more consistently at poetic form, but have included on account of their biographical interest two or three rather unsuccessful versions of late poems by Po Chü-i.
For leave to reprint I am indebted to the editors of the English Review, Nation, New Statesman, Bulletin of School of Oriental Studies, and Reconstruction.

​[48] GETTING UP EARLY ON A SPRING MORNING
[Part of a poem written when Governor of Soochow in 825]
The early light of the rising sun shines on the beams of my house; The first banging of opened doors echoes like the roll of a drum. The dog lies curled on the stone step, for the earth is wet with dew; The birds come near to the window and chatter, telling that the day is fine. With the lingering fumes of yesterday's wine my head is still heavy; With new doffing of winter clothes my body has grown light.

​[16] GOING ALONE TO SPEND A NIGHT AT THE HSIEN-YU TEMPLE
[A.D. 806]
The crane from the shore standing at the top of the steps; The moon on the pool seen at the open door; Where these are, I made my lodging-place And for two nights could not turn away. I am glad I chanced on a place so lonely and still With no companion to drag me early home. Now that I have tasted the joy of being alone I will never again come with a friend at my side.

[Written circa 842, when he was paralyzed]
Dear friends, there is no cause for so much sympathy. I shall certainly manage from time to time to take my walks abroad. All that matters is an active mind, what is the use of feet? By land one can ride in a carrying-chair; by water, be rowed in a boat.

United States Supreme Court
70 U.S. 687
Merriam v. Haas
MERRIAM filed his bill in equity in the Federal court for Minnesota, for the foreclosure of a mortgage executed by Haas and wife for $6000, with interest at 15 per cent.
The defendants answered, admitting the execution of the mortgage, and that $4000 and interest (parcel of the amount so secured) was due; and they submitted to a decree for that sum. But as to the residue ($2000 and interest) they insisted that they never owed it, because, they alleged, they had only received from Merriam the sum of $4000, and not the sum of $6000 as was agreed, and on the faith of which agreement the mortgage had been executed.
In June, 1861, the court gave a decree for $4000, with interest and costs; the whole amounting to $5271, but refused to give a decree including the $2000 disputed. In April, 1862, the complainant appealed. On the 15th November, of the same year, that is to say, after the appeal, there was a sale and report of the master in execution of the decree; and on the following November, that, to wit, of 1863 (the sale not being yet confirmed), the defendant paid into court the amount for which the decree was given, with interest; which whole sum the complainant received and gave his receipt for. The case being now here, Mr. Carlisle moved to dismiss the appeal, 'for that after the same was prayed by these appellants and allowed by the court, the decree below having been in their favor for $5271, interest and costs, but having denied them an additional sum which they had claimed in their bill, the said appellants by their voluntary act as appears by the record, enforced and took advantage of the said decree, and accepted and received the sum thereby awarded to them; whereby they waived their appeal, and are estopped to question the said decree in this court.
'On consideration,' &c.
'MOTION OVERRULED.'
This motion was decided in February, 1864, about a month before the present reporter was appointed, and is reported now by him from the records only. The decision, to which MILLER, J., referred counsel, from the benech, was much relied on by the attorney-general, in argument, in the next case; on which account specially the reporter presents the matter; though, of necessity, in an imperfect way. It may be added, that the case coming on finally to be heard on its merits, the decree below was reversed: and the case remanded, with directions to enter a decree which should give the complainant the whole $6000 claimed by him.

United States Supreme Court
120 U.S. 354
Meriwether v. Judge of Muhlenburg Court
Meriwether, the plaintiff in error, obtained a judgment in the court below against the county of Muhlenburg, in the state of Kentucky, for the amount of certain unpaid coupons of bonds, issued by it in payment of a subscription to the capital stock of the Elizabethtown & Paducah Railroad Company. Execution having been returned 'no property found to satisfy the same or any part thereof,' and the county court of the county having refused to levy a tax sufficient to pay the judgment, Meriwether filed the petition in this case against the judge of that court, praying for a mandamus compelling the levy and collection of such tax. The plaintiff bases his right to relief upon the ninth section of an act of the general assembly of Kentucky, approved February 24, 1868, amending the charter of the Elizabethtown & Paducah Railroad Company. That section provides 'that in case any county, city, town, or election district shall subscribe to the capital stock of said Elizabethtown & Paducah Railroad Company, under the provisions of this act, and issue bonds for the payment of such subscription, it shall be the duty of the county court of such county, the city council of such city, and the trustees of such town, to cause to be levied and collected a tax sufficient to pay the semi-annual interest on the bonds issued and the cost of collecting such tax, and paying the interest, on all the real estate and personal property in said county, city, or town, subject to taxation under the revenue laws of the state, including the amounts owned by residents of such county, city, or town, or election districts, which ought to be given in under the equalization laws.' Sess. Acts 1867-68, p. 622.
This proceeding having been instituted against the judge of the county court alone, a demurrer to the petition, on the ground of defect of parties, raised the objection that, within the meaning of the foregoing statute, the justices of the peace of the county must be a part of the court when making a levy for the purpose asked by the plaintiff. The court below, being of opinion that the point was well taken, sustained the demurrer. An amended petition was filed, stating, among other facts, that there were no justices of the peace of the county; that the justices elected from time to time, and who had qualified, resigned their positions in order that there might be no officers in existence who could, under the theory of the defendant, levy the required tax. A demurrer to the amended petition having been sustained, and the plaintiff having elected not to amend further, the action was dismissed.
