戚将军赠宝剑歌

[明]王世贞

毋嫌身价抵千金,

一寸纯钩[1]一寸心。

欲识命轻恩重处,

灞陵[2]风雨夜来深。

注释:

[1]纯钩:古代宝剑名。

[2]灞陵:古地名,本作“霸陵”。故址在今陕西省西安市东。

General Qi’s Sword[1]

Wang Shizhen

Can thousand coins of gold buy a sword of this kind?

Each inch of steel reveals a battle-hardened mind.

For royal favor of his life he has made light:

No general but has suffered wind and rain at night.

注释:

[1]This sword was a gift of General Qi Jiguang for the poet. The general was out of favor with the emperor.
