Desiring only to rid his majesty of things evil, And willing to sacrifice what remains of my waning years. Clouds hang menacingly over Qinling ridge, and where lies my home? Languan Pass packed in with snow, and my horse forward cannot go. Coming from afar you must have come for a reason, perhaps to collect my bones from this disease-ridden riverside.
「一封朝奏九重天，夕貶潮陽路八千；欲為聖明除弊事，肯將衰朽惜殘年；雲橫秦嶺家何在，雪擁藍關馬不前，知汝遠來應有意，好收吾骨瘴江邊。」
