曾調(diào)歷象授民時,理自庸庸不足奇。
銷去明朝和昨日,當前杯盞莫須辭。
注:○歷象:歷法星象。《后漢書·律歷志中》:“祖堯岱宗,同律度量,考在璣衡,以正歷象,庶乎有益?!碧菩?《春晚宴兩相及禮官麗正殿學士》詩:“陰陽調(diào)歷象,禮樂報玄穹?!泵駮r:猶農(nóng)時也?!妒酚洝の宓郾炯o》:“乃命羲和,敬順昊天,數(shù)法日月星辰,敬授民時?!鄙w莪默曾與歷法之訂,建觀象之臺也。○庸庸:微貌?!稘h書·梅福傳》:“毋若火,始庸庸。” 顏師古 注:“庸庸,微小貌也。”
Ah, but my Computations, People say,
Reduced the Year to better reckoning?——Nay,
'Twas only striking from the Calendar
Unborn To-morrow and dead Yesterday.
