5.139

五六皆名出,飄華獨見稀,若教同一色,還似負群機。
玉馬獨空說,銅駝轉更非,爭如千萬里,相對共依依。

Fives and sixes are all called out, / Yet drifting blossoms are rarely seen alone. / If made to be of a single color, / It would still seem to fail the manifold capacities. / The jade horse is only spoken of in vain; / The bronze camel turns out even more mistaken. / How could that compare to ten thousand miles away, / Facing each other, lingering together?
