I think on Mount Shang?s old men, supporting the throne,2 his cultured thoughts recall Emperor Yao. I humbly meet a day of our lord?s self-blame, 8 shedding tears I gaze toward the blue wisps of cloud.3 III Sweating horses retook the palace, in the spring city the rebels? trenches are scraped flat. In reward they will surely sing ?Russet Pear,?4 4 the return is in time to present cherries.5 Federate barbarians? brandished pikes are thick,6 the mansions of meritorious officials rise high. Good news is brought often from all quarters, 8 His Majesty has no choice but to personally reward them. After Chang?an and Luoyang were retaken, those who had willingly or unwillingly accepted posts in An Lushan?s government were brought back to Luoyang to face charges.
