送人赴舉（明） 李夢陽
寶劍動連星，金鞍別馬鳴。
持將五色筆，奪取錦標名。
A Quatrain by Li Mengyang (Ming dynasty)
(Seeing the Blue-Robed Off for the Imperial Examinations)
Lo, their star-studded swords splendidly shine,
Gilt-saddled steeds neigh to leave, on cloud nine.
Taking hold of the five-coloured brushes,
The blue-robed vie for the titles so divine.
