贈喬侍郎 陳子昂


贈喬侍郎    陳子昂(656-695)

漢廷榮巧宦雲閣薄邊功。    
可憐驄馬使,白首為誰雄。    

To Deputy Chancellor Qiao      Chen Zi’ang (656-695)

In our court only schemers rise to the top,
Even those with great military feats are dropped,
Imperial censors like you, no matter how righteously you do your job,
Whoever will accord you the acclaim you ought’ve got.
