帐下佳人拭泪痕,
门前壮士气如云。
仓黄不负君王 ① 意,
只有虞姬与郑君 ② 。
①君王:指项籍。②郑君:即郑荣,这里指不负项籍的人。
In the tent fair ladies wiped away their tears;
At the door brave men gathered like a mass of cloud.
Who justified the king's trust in critical years?
Of Lady Yu and General Zheng he could be proud.
虞姬墓,在安徽定远县南六十里。本诗为苏轼于熙宁四年赴杭州途中过濠州时所作。诗人在虞姬墓前,感怀古人古事,赞颂了虞姬和郑荣的坚贞,颇有弦外之音。
