Therefore do you remember Poets now and then?
Washu, the Poet, have sang songs for your benefit several administrations,
He have handed out tributes to your handsome of face, good-clothes,
Not forgetting praise of babies belonging to your several Hon. wives;
Also Washu has been regardless about speaking of your generosity.
Therefore, Commander of Heaven and Earth,
Is it not
About time
That you make trifling Christmas-reward to the celebrated sing-songer Washu?
I bow down, strike forehead and request reply by return mail.”
