蔡邕之死（第九回）

董卓专权肆不仁，侍中何自竟亡身？

当时诸葛隆中卧，安肯轻身事乱臣。

（1）

Tung the harsh dictator，

Tyrannised the State，

Fell and his sole mourner

Shared his direful fate.

Chuko in seclusion

Was content to dream，

Felt his worth and never

Helped a traitor's scheme.

（C. H. Brewitt-Taylor）

（2）

Power was Dong Zhuo's means to tyranny；

And Cai Yong's death，his own ignominy.

Kongming lay low in Longzhong and every hero weighed.

Would he waste his talents on a renegade？

（Moss Roberts）

（3）

Dong Zhuo，the cruel dictator，

Tyrannized the state，

Fell and his sole mourner

Shared his direful fate.

But Zhuge Liang the sage

Content to live unknown.

Neér would he stain his name

To help a tyrant's reign.
