《后汉书·列传·李陈庞陈桥列传》
臣没有文武之才，而辱尽鹰扬之任，上愧圣明，下怕素餐，虽尽力而死，也无补益。
臣无文武之才，而忝鹰扬之任，上惭圣明，下惧素餐，虽殁躯体，无所云补。
I have neither literary nor martial talent, yet I have shamed the position of the commander, I feel guilty before your intelligence and honor, and I am afraid that I will be a useless eater, even if I die while doing my best, it will not be of any use.
