南园十三首 (其五)
李贺

男儿何不带吴钩,
收取关山五十州。
请君暂上凌烟阁,
若个书生万户侯?

Poems on South Garden (V)
by Li He (790-816 AD)

Why does not a man wear a Wu sword,
To recapture the fifty prefectures and commanderies lost to warlords in north and south of Yellow River.
Please ascend the Lingyan Pavilion and have a look,
Which one conferred ten-thousand household fief was a scholar?
