君侯待我異中行,宗祀何期遽覆亡。
一死誰言無所為,主知深處自難忘。
君侯待我異中行,宗祀何期遽覆亡。
一死誰言無所為,主知深處自難忘。
君主您對待我不同於對待一般的臣子,
誰又能預料到宗廟祭祀會如此突然地覆滅消亡。
誰說我的赴死是毫無作爲的舉動?
君主您對我的深刻知遇之恩,我內心深處實在難以忘懷。
My lord treated me unlike a common retainer,
Who could foresee the sudden fall of his ancestral line?
Who says my death is a deed of no purpose?
Deep in my heart, his profound understanding is unforgettable.
觸及了士爲知己者死的傳統認同與歷史周期中的個人悲劇。
詠嘆豫讓因智伯以國士待之而誓死復仇,感慨宗祀驟然覆亡。
本詩為七言絕句,押平聲韻。
