七言絕句 鄭畋 馬嵬坡

玄宗回馬楊妃死, 雲雨難忘日月新。
終是聖明天子事, 景陽宮井又何人。

Seven-character-quatrain
Zheng Tian ON MAWEI SLOPE

When the Emperor came back from his ride they had murdered Lady Yang --
That passion unforgettable through all the suns and moons
They had led him to forsake her by reminding him
Of an emperor slain with his lady once, in a well at Jingyang Palace.
