The note could perhaps be Yulshi were it not for the rhyme, pi/wi/ su/pi/pi. Su does not match the rhyme, but the character beside su—ŭi—matches, something which Kim Sakkat obviously would have known. Perhaps he is having fun with the traditional rules. Since all the subsequent collections are based on Yi Ŭngsu’s collection, it is always possible that an error was made in copying the manuscript. Tones match and verbal parallelism occurs in the second and third couplets. The parallel contrasts in the third couplet are provided by copper mountain (shape, color and strength) and silken waterfall (sound, silk and softness).
Thanks to you I don’t have to bother opening and closing
the brushwood gate late at night.
When it comes to sleep, you are neighbor and friend.
A tipsy man can take you and slide piously to his knees;
a lovely lady can sit on you and gently lift her skirt.
You provide a solid mountain of copper
where the assuaging jet recalls a silken waterfall.
Your finest moments come in rain and wind at first light;
you foster a leisurely disposition, allow a man to put on weight.
