將赴吳興登樂遊原 杜牧

將赴吳興登樂遊原     杜牧 (803-852)
清時有味是無能，

閒愛孤雲靜愛僧。
欲把一麾江海去，

樂遊原上望昭陵。

Mounting the Leyou Plateau Enroute to Take Up

My Official Devoirs at Wuxing           Du Mu (803-852)

If you enjoy your official devoirs in peaceful times you are literally a man of no merits and incapable,

I savour the solitary clouds as I insouciantly idle and mix only with the monks in my serene tranquil,
Now to the rivers and seas of Wuxing my banners I wield,
On Plateau Leyou to Zhao Ling the Imperial Tomb I’ll pay my homage of awe.
