艳色天下重，西施宁久微。
朝为越溪女，暮作吴宫妃。
贱日岂殊众，贵来方悟稀。
邀人傅脂粉，不自著罗衣。
君宠益娇态，君怜无是非。
当时浣纱伴，莫得同车归。
持谢邻家子，效颦安可希。
Song of the Beauty of the West
Wang Wei
A beauty is loved far and wide.
How could she be unknown for long?
At dawn she washed by riverside;
At dusk to the king she'd belong.
Poor, she was one of lower race;
Ennobled, she's one of the few.
She has maids to powder her face
And dress her up with silk robe new.
Royal favor adds to her charms;
Royal love turns wrong into right.
Her companions wash with bare arms.
Could they attain such royal height?
To washerwomen I should say:
Don't follow her unusual way!
