含詞賦 With rhapsody
海兵列陣 劄營在右
The Sea-Host Arrayed; Encamped to the Right
這鼉龍出得門來，真個見一枝海兵劄營在右。只見：这鼍龙出得门来，真个见一枝海兵劄营在右。只见：
征旗飄繡帶，畫戟列明霞。征旗飘绣带，画戟列明霞。
寶劍凝光彩，長槍纓繞花。宝剑凝光彩，长枪缨绕花。
弓彎如月小，箭插似狼牙。弓弯如月小，箭插似狼牙。
大刀光燦燦，短棍硬沙沙。大刀光灿灿，短棍硬沙沙。
鯨鰲並蛤蚌，蟹鱉共魚蝦。鲸鳌并蛤蚌，蟹鳖共鱼虾。
大小齊齊擺，干戈似密麻。大小齐齐摆，干戈似密麻。
不是元戎令，誰敢亂爬蹅？不是元戎令，谁敢乱爬蹅？
逐句解 Line by line
這鼉龍出得門來，真個見一枝海兵劄營在右。
这鼍龙出得门来，真个见一枝海兵劄营在右。
The alligator-dragon came out the gate, and sure enough there was a company of sea-troops encamped to the right.
只見：
只见：
This is what he saw:
征旗飄繡帶，畫戟列明霞。
征旗飘绣带，画戟列明霞。
War-banners streamed their embroidered sashes; painted halberds ranged like bright cloud-glow.
寶劍凝光彩，長槍纓繞花。
宝剑凝光彩，长枪缨绕花。
Precious swords held their gathered gleam; long spears, their tassels twined like flowers.
弓彎如月小，箭插似狼牙。
弓弯如月小，箭插似狼牙。
Bows curved like small crescent moons; arrows bristled like a wolf's fangs.
大刀光燦燦，短棍硬沙沙。
大刀光灿灿，短棍硬沙沙。
Great sabers glittered bright and blazing; short cudgels stood hard and grating.
鯨鰲並蛤蚌，蟹鱉共魚蝦。
鲸鳌并蛤蚌，蟹鳖共鱼虾。
Whale and sea-turtle, clam and mussel; crab and terrapin, fish and shrimp together.
大小齊齊擺，干戈似密麻。
大小齐齐摆，干戈似密麻。
Great and small drawn up in even ranks; shield and spear thick as woven hemp.
不是元戎令，誰敢亂爬蹅？
不是元戎令，谁敢乱爬蹅？
Were it not the commander's own order, who would dare to crawl and trample out of line?
總評 Commentary
A 只見 rhapsody arrays the Western Sea's force: banners and halberds, swords and spears, and ranks of whale, crab, clam, and shrimp drawn up under discipline. The martial spectacle — no creature stirring but by the commander's word — measures the prince's authority against the lone alligator-dragon.
