The Western River
- Wang Juan
- Translated by Frank C Yue

A pretty maiden was drowned each year at the riverside,
To appease the river god who wanted anew bride.
An enlightened official threw the witch into the river;
Then there had been no more flooding thereafter.

《西河》唐汪遵

花貌年年溺水濱，俗傳河伯娶生人。

自從明宰投巫後，直至如今鬼不神。
