Maehwa

[The hawk of] the highest talent and spirit in the universe 天地奇才意氣雄,
can pierce through the clouds and pass through the sky 穿雲掣電瞥靑空.
like a thunderbolt. Ultimately, he will satisfy in times of need; 終然可合爲時用,
when he renders merit by subduing rabbits and foxes. 伐兔殲狐始見功.
With jade-like talons, gold-like pupils, and a snow-like body, 玉爪金睛白雪姿,
he sometimes ruffles his beautiful feathers. 有時刷盡羽毛奇.
His thoughts reach far out to the sky. 巖然萬里雲霄意,
How could other birds discern them? 凡鳥紛紛寧得知.
(Sŏ Kŏjŏng 1795, 5:23b)

It hasn’t hunted rabbits and foxes yet. 攫兎追狐縱未曾,
It is in high spirits soaring far away. 雲霄九萬勢將凌.
When a turbulent year comes, it will spread its wings; 何年楚澤翻輕翮,
With one strike a great bird shows its ability. 一 擊鵬雛效爾能.
(Kim Inhu 1802, 7:17a)
