Named as the author of the second elegy, the one that goes back to the thatched cottage: 'Within the forest dim the Master lived obscure, / Till, thrice returning, there the prince his mentor met... His war memorials still to us are left, / And, reading them, the tears unconscious fall.' A Tang poet, quoted by the narrator.
