《QI FU》
Poet: Qi Fuzhishen

  Minister of war,
  We are the claws and teeth of the king.
  Why have you rolled us into this sorrow,
  So that we have no abiding place?
  
  Minister of war,
  We are the taloned soldiers of the king.
  Why have you rolled us into this sorrow,
  So that there is no end [of our toils]?
  
  Minister of war,
  You have indeed acted without discrimination.
  Why have you rolled us into this sorrow,
  So that our mothers have to do all the labour of cooking?
