近试上张水部
朱庆余
洞房昨夜停红烛， 待晓堂前拜舅姑。
妆罢低声问夫婿， 画眉深浅入时无。
on the eve of government examinations to secretary zhang
zhu qingyu
out go the great red wedding-chamber candles.
tomorrow in state the bride faces your parents.
she has finished preparing; she asks of you meekly
whether her eyebrows are painted in fashion.
