王司徒巧使連環計,董太師大鬧鳳儀亭 - Wang Yun Prepares The Chaining Scheme; Dong Zhuo Rages At Phoenix Pavilion

13 王司徒巧... :
允拜謝。堂中點上畫燭,止留女使進酒供食。允曰:「教坊之樂,不足供奉;偶有家伎,敢使承應。」卓曰:「甚妙。」允教放下簾櫳,笙簧繚繞,簇捧貂蟬舞於簾外。有詞讚之曰:原是昭陽宮裏人,驚鴻宛轉掌中身,只疑飛過洞庭春。按徹梁州蓮步穩,好花風裊一枝新,畫堂香煖不勝春。又詩曰:
Wang Yun Prepares The...:
Wang Yun bowed. Then lights were brought in and all the attendants were dismissed, save the serving maids to hand the wine. So the evening went on.
Presently Wang Yun said, "The music of these everyday musicians is too commonplace for your ear, but there happens to be in the house a little maid that might please you."
"Excellent!" said the guest.
Then a curtain was lowered. The shrill tones of reed instruments rang through the room, and presently some attendants led forward Diao Chan, who then danced on the outside of the curtain.
A poem praises her:
For a palace this maiden was born,
So timid, so graceful, so slender,
Like a tiny bird flitting at morn
Over the dew-laden lily buds tender.
Were this exquisite maid only mine,
For never a mansion I'd pine.
Another poem runs thus:
紅牙催拍燕飛忙,一片行雲到畫堂。眉黛促成遊子恨,臉容初斷故人腸。榆錢不買千金笑,柳帶何須百寶妝。舞罷隔簾偷目送,不知誰是楚襄王。

The music falls, the dancer comes, a swallow gliding in,
A dainty little damsel, soft as silk;
Her beauty captivates the guest yet saddens him within,
For he must soon depart and leave her there.
She smiles; no gold could buy that smile, no other smiled so,
No need to deck her form with jewels rare.
But when the dance is over and coy glances come and go,
Then who shall be the chosen of the fair?
