和令狐侍郎郭郎中题项羽庙

With Ministers Linghu and Guo at Xiang Yu's shrine


碧草凌古庙
清尘锁秋窗
当时独宰割
猛志谁能降

Emerald grass borders ancient shrine.
Clean dust upon autumn windowsills.
Back then, he was slaughtered alone.
Who could descend to such savagery?

鼓气雷作敌
剑光电为双
新悲徒自起
旧恨空浮江

Drums in the mist, thunderous encounter.
Swords flash like twin lightning bolts.
A new and helpless sadness rises in me,
Ancient regrets floating vainly down the river.

-- 孟郊


废话

Xiang Yu was the last warrior-king of ancient Chu, defeated by the Han in the second century.
