送 芮 国 器 司 业
往 岁 淮 边 虏 未 归
诸 生 合 疏 论 危 机。
人 才 衰 靡 方 当 滤
士 气 峥 嵘 未 可 非。
万 事 不 如 公 论 久
诸 贤 莫 与 众 心 违。
还 朝 此 段 宜 先 及
岂 独 遗 经 赖 发 挥。
Song Rui Guo Qi Ci Ye
Wang sui huai bian lu wei gui
Zhu sheng he shu lu wei ji.
Ren cai shuai mi fang dang lu
Shi qi zheng rong wei ke fei.
Wan shi bu ru gong lun jiu
Zhu xian mo yu zhong xin wei.
Huan zhao ci duan yi xian ji
Qi du yi jing lai fa hui.
Send Off Rui Guoqi To His Palace Assignment As a School Instructor
In the old days, nomad prisoners not yet returned to the southern banks of the Huai River
All of us signed a document for the palace, informing them of the danger and importance of our situation.
Should ponder why those of talent and ability decline to serve the country
We agree to oppose the pacification of our enemies, and the useless nature of scholars.
For a long time we have needed to include and give the common people a voice
All of the able and virtuous need to stand up and get involved.
At the next imperial morning audience reveal the true realities
Just one copy of the Yi Jing needs to be put into action.
Notes:
Yi Jing: Also known as the I Ching.
