Lament for Historic Sites, No. 4
The Shu lord, gazing toward Wu, made his journey to the Three Gorges; the year of his death was also at Yongan Palace.
The imperial banners are imagined among the empty hills; the jade halls are lost within a country temple.
In the ancient temple, the pines and firs nest water cranes; at the seasons of summer and winter, village elders come to pay their rites.
The Marquis of Wu's shrine is always nearby; sovereign and minister are worshipped together as one.
詠懷古跡之四
蜀主窺吳幸三峽，崩年亦在永安宮。
翠華想像空一作「寒」山裏，玉殿虛無野寺中。
古廟杉松巢水鶴，歲時伏臘走村翁。
武侯祠屋常鄰近，一體君臣祭祀同。
