In The Camp Of The Sketching Brush

yuán

Monkeys and birds are still alert for your orders

fēng
yún
cháng
wèi
hù

And winds and clouds eager to shield your fortress.

tú
lìng
shàng
jiāng
huī
shén


You were master of the brush, and a sagacious general,

zhōng
jiàn
jiàng
wáng
zǒu
chuán
chē

But your Emperor, defeated, rode the prison-cart.

guǎn
lè
yǒu
cái
yuán
bù
tiǎn

You were abler than even the greatest Zhou statesmen,

guān
zhāng
wú
mìng
yù
hé
rú

Yet less fortunate than the two Shu generals who were killed in action.

tā

And, though at your birth-place a temple has been built to you,

You never finished singing your Song of the Holy Mountain
