七言律詩 杜甫 蜀相

丞相祠堂何處尋? 錦官城外柏森森,
映階碧草自春色, 隔葉黃鸝空好音。
三顧頻煩天下計, 兩朝開濟老臣心。
出師未捷身先死, 長使英雄淚滿襟。

Du Fu THE TEMPLE OF THE PREMIER OF SHU

Where is the temple of the famous Premier? --
In a deep pine grove near the City of Silk,
With the green grass of spring colouring the steps,
And birds chirping happily under the leaves.
...The third summons weighted him with affairs of state
And to two generations he gave his true heart,
But before he could conquer, he was dead;
And heroes have wept on their coats ever since.
