MAKING FUN OF A MAN WEARING A SQUARE HAT (Seven character, Quatrain)




The rhyme is chi /chi; tones match. First and third lines are image centered; second and fourth lines are sound centered.



That yangban sprat with square hat and long pipe

is reciting loudly from a newly purchased volume of Mencius. 

He’s like a monkey whelp born in broad daylight,

like a frog in the pond raucous in fading light.
