送別崔著作東征 陳子昂

送別崔著作東征     陳子昂(656-695)

金天方肅殺，白露始專征，  

王師非樂戰，之子慎佳兵。

海氣侵南部，邊風掃北平，  

莫賣盧龍塞，歸邀麟閣名。  

Seeing Secretary Cui Off to the Eastern Imperial Campaign    

Chen Zi’ang(656-695)

The autumnal aura is bleak with lethalities thrill,

White Dew is the opportune time to start the campaign to have the treacherous upheavals quelled,

The Imperial Armies are not thirsty to kill,

You must take warfare with great scruple,

Our military might is formidable,

Under our armies’ devastating mettles,

Enemies to the north and south borders should be scared shriveled,

Just don’t sell out the Lu Long Pass of the borders to the devils,

Hoping to have your name be added to the chamber of the phenomenal generals.
