Among the people who saw the moon, who did it shed its light on?  On the moored boat, we sang together the song of river spray.  The field of flowers was as bright as snow and we saw the girl who sold flowers cross the river.  Her call of selling flowers made me sad.  Seeing flowers bloom and wither, I felt sad in vain for the girl.  I could only wish the flowers not to go to the graveyard, because the girl had a destiny similar to her mother’s."

Yan, The Imperially Ordered Department Director and Company Commander for the Imperial Household commissioned to supervise the Guangdong Maritime Customs tax affairs, for the co-submitted Memorial and the request of the Imperial Will. All the parties concerned are informed that the ships from the West Ocean had been checked and paid the required levy.  The ships may be drifted by the unfavourable wind or rainstorms to other provinces which are not their destinations for trade.  If the ships are found to have paid the levy and have the related documents, they should be released without being re-levied again.  This arrangement was previously discussed and agreed upon, and is applicable to the following ship.  Now the ship captain (Amos) Warners from the West Ocean, loaded with cargoes, is going to the U.S. for trading purpose.  It has paid all its levy in accordance with the regulations, and a licence should be issued to it.  This licence is to be kept by the merchant aboard this ship for record.  If the ship goes to the strategic passes or locations with local armies, the officials may examine the licence and let the ship leave.  No further levy should be imposed on this ship, and no trouble or obstruction should be caused to it either.  The ship is carrying artillery and firearms for self-defence, and all these are listed on the licence in accordance with the customary practice.  The ship must not carry more firearms than licensed or any prohibited goods, or else they will bring blame to themselves.  It is licensed thus.
soldiers : 13                  swords : 12                              
cannons : 6                   guns : 12                      
 bullets : 200                gunpowder : 200 catties
What is listed on the right is to be kept by the foreign merchant on (the ship) Warner for record.
on the 13th Day of the 10th Month of Jiaqing
by the Guangdong Maritime Customs Office, Yan
To be complied with."
