Blood dyed the battle robe and crimsoned his buff coat; None dared engage the formidable warrior at Dangyang; In the days of old live the brave Zhao Yun, Who fought the battlefield for his lord in danger.

...he galloped to and fro carrying his spear. Suddenly he spotted away among the tents, a huge banner swaying dangerously with the orce of the wind and on the point of falling. A crowd of soldiers were vainly struggling to keep it steady. Down he leaped, shouted to the men to clear out and with one hand, he held the pole and keep it perfectly upright in spite of the strong wind. "This is old Wu Lai again!" acclaimed Cao Cao.

Peerless indeed was Lord Guan, Standing head and shoulders out among the best; Him, one of the brothers of the Peach Garden Oath, Of whom tow have won sacrifices, as Emperor and prince. Incomparable, was his imposing righteous aure, Resplendent as the great lights of the firmament; Temples to our Lord Guan abound, Their venerable trees at soundown are the resting places for birds.

Lofy as is heaven above earth was the spirit of the general; Who, even at his old age, suffered sorrows in the South; Fought until his last breath with no thought of resentment, A surrendered fighter though, he would never forget the shame. Praised be his sword, gleaming snow-white, and his god-like bravery, Consider the mail-clad steed snuffing the wind and rejoicing in the battle, That warrior's name shall stand high and its brightness be undiminished. While the cold moon sheds her light on the waters of Xiang and Tan.

He who whipped the inspector years ago, who swept the vile rebels from the land of Han, And thereby won great glory for the Lius, Whose valour shone et the Tiger Corral Pass, Who turned the tide of victory at the Chang Ban bridge, Who freed the captive Yan Lang and thus won a friend That helped him and his brothers established Shu, Whose wisdom to trick Zhongchuan out of Zhang He; Died before he could revenge his brother's death on Wu, Langdi will grieve him all the ages through.

The city of Xiapi drown ed by the flood; Its Lord is captive. Nought avails His courser's speed or halberd's thrust. The tiger erstwhile fierce, now whines For mercy. Cao had meted him Full well, a falcon flown at will And hungry kept, Poor fool! He let Chen Gong's advice be overborne by harem tattle; vainly now He rails against the Long-eared Childe.

Panic seized upon the soldiers at the Tong Pass; And terrorized Meng-de flung off his brocade robe And, petrify-stricken, sawed his beard off with a sword. The fame of Ma Cao rose high to the sky.

The force was led by a certain swashbuckler, a shrotish man of slightly more than two meter, with a waist ten span in girth. He carried a long sword with him, barred the way of retreat.

When goblets are brimming then song is near birth, Life passes as the dew drops fly swiftly away. But sorrowful thoughts in one's heart often arise. How can we clean away the sad thoughts that intrude? With bumpers of wine such as Du Kang once brewed. Gone is my youthful days, and still ungained is my desire. The deer call joyfully when feeding the level plain. My noble guests are gathered round, The air is trilled with joyful music, bright my future lies before me, As the moonlight on this plain; but I strive in vain to reach it. Sadness grips my in most heart, when shall my wish attain? Far north and south. wide east and west, We safely seek; vain is the quest. The stars are paled by the full moon's light, The raven winged southward, circles the tree thrice, Finding no place to rest thereon, they weary not the high mountains. Duke Zhou no leisure found by day or night, Sterm toil is his who.would the Empire gain.
