詠史 高適


詠史       高適 (700-765)

尚有綈袍贈,應憐范叔寒。    
不知天下士,猶作布衣看。    

On a Historical Scenario        Gao Shi (700-765)

Out of pity, Xu Jia gave the quivery looking Fan Sui a silk gown,
Being ignorant that he is now world renowned,
Treating this statesman of Qi recently crowned
As a shabbily dressed nobody low-down.
