9.180

蟄梭未飛。肌膚不把。老虎似衰。眼力猶威。頭鬚霜雪塢。
舌頰風雷機。氣爽秋高河漢闊。霽寒夜永斗牛輝。
陰陽爻象。天地範圍。借伴來也。相逢庶幾。

The hibernating shuttle has not yet flown; the skin cannot be grasped. / The old tiger seems decrepit, yet his eye's power still has majesty. / Head and whiskers are banks of frost and snow; / tongue and cheeks are the mechanism of wind and thunder. / The air is crisp, autumn high, and the Milky Way is broad; / cold after rain, the night long, and the Dipper and Ox stars shine. / Trigrams of yin and yang, compass of Heaven and Earth. / Borrowing a companion to come, our meeting is almost at hand.
