介绍:
Bearers’ Songs for the Former General of the Palace Guard
I
Strict curfew[1] on a cold night,
from the vanguard[2] a great star fell.
Stalwart[3] men thought on his decisiveness,
an edict of lament[4] pitied the loss of his soul.
Now the king will do no battle,
men of learning have already carved his inscription.
His hopes to be made a count are remote,
for whom do the bound slips stay green?
