出塞词 – （唐）馬戴
金带连环束战袍，
马头冲雪度临洮。
卷旗夜劫单于帐，
乱斫胡兵缺宝刀。
A Quatrain by Ma Dai (Tang Dynasty)
(Frontier)
On chargers charging in snow, wearing warrior-gears,
They cross Lintao River, holding red-ribboned spears.
Flags rolling in night wind, they raid tartar chieftain,
Hacking the foes all down till blades bent in loud cheers.
Tr. Ziyuzile
