送人赴舉（明） 李夢陽
宝剑动连星，金鞍别马鸣。
持将五色笔，夺取锦标名。
A Quatrain by Li Mengyang (Ming dynasty)
(Seeing the Blue-Robed Off for the Imperial Examinations)
Lo, their star-studded swords splendidly shine,
Gilt-saddled steeds neigh to leave, on cloud nine.
Taking hold of the five-coloured brushes,
The blue-robed vie for the titles so divine.
