西 太 一 见 王 荆 公 旧 诗 偶 次 其 韵: 二 首
但 有 尊 中 若 下
何 须 墓 上 征 西。
闻 道 乌 衣 巷 口
而 今 烟 草 萋 迷。
Xi Tai Yi Jian Wang Jing Gong Jiu Shi Ou Ci Qi Yun: Er Shou

Dan you zun zhong ruo xia
He xu mu shang zheng xi.
Wen dao wu yi xiang kou
Er jin yan cao qi mi.

 

Western Palace Memorial Hall, Saw Wang Anshi’s Old Poems, My Linked Poem on His Beautiful Rhyme: Two Poems: No. 2

Still have respect for the famous ruoxia wine vessel
Do not have to have a gravestone to commemorate a conquest of the west.
Famous road in Nanjing, your house with others who have served the emperor
Now this house overgrown with thick weeds among the misty ruins.

 

Notes:

Ruoxia wine: A famous local wine.
