“What is the good of learning that nine other continents lie beyond the seas?
One cannot prophesy about the next life, but this one is all over!
In vain does one hear the tiger-like nightwatches beat their wooden bells;
No more will the palace-crier announce the arrival of dawn!
On this day, the Six Armies together stopped their horses;
Formerly, on Seventh Night, we laughed at the Cowherd!”
Why was it that a Son of Heaven who had reigned four dozen years
Could not emulate the man from the Lu family with his Sans Souci?
