Original Poem
洛阳女儿对门居，才可颜容十五余。
良人玉勒乘骢马，侍女金盘脍鲤鱼。
画阁朱楼尽相望，红桃绿柳垂檐向。
罗帷送上七香车，宝扇迎归九华帐。
狂夫富贵在青春，意气骄奢剧季伦。
自怜碧玉亲教舞，不惜珊瑚持与人。
春窗曙灭九微火，九微片片飞花琐。
戏罢曾无理曲时，妆成祗是薰香坐。
城中相识尽繁华，日夜经过赵李家。
谁怜越女颜如玉，贫贱江头自浣纱。

English Meaning
A Luoyang daughter lives across the door, just past fifteen, her beauty newly ripe. Her husband rides a white-bridled piebald; maids serve sliced carp on golden plates. Painted chambers and vermilion towers gaze at one another; red peaches and green willows shade the eaves... Her rich husband, in the springtime of his years, outdoes Shi Chong in pride. She pities Biyu and teaches her to dance; gives away coral without regret... At dawn she snuffs the nine-lamp flames; dressed, she sits idly while incense smokes. All her acquaintance is the splendid; day and night they frequent the Zhao and Li mansions. Who pities the girl of Yue, her face like jade — poor, washing silk by the river?
