第141章 蜀先主庙-At the Temple of Liu Bei

蜀先主庙

刘禹锡

天地英雄气,千秋尚凛然。

势分三足鼎,业复五铢钱。

得相能开国,生儿不象贤。

凄凉蜀故伎,来舞魏宫前!

At the Temple of Liu Bei

Liu Yuxi

His heroic spirit got from earth and heaven

Has won him high prestige up to to-day even.

Of the world’s tripod-like three kingdoms his was one;

And to restore Han Dynasty much had he done.

His wise prime minister helped him set up his reign

While his heir unlike him was a man of frail brain,

Who surrendered, thus causing Shu’s former beauties

Their tragic lot to dance in Wei’s royal palace!
