畫家門戶何季破，編竹為籬蘜自黃。咲尔孤根移不䙷，寄人籬下也清狂。
懊道人李鱓
When did the door and windows of the painter get so dilapidated? By the bamboo-woven fence a yellow chrysanthemum was blooming. It’s ridiculous that you are so lonely and incapable of moving elsewhere, but you still maintain your proud and carefree nature while living under another’s roof.
