（古詩英譯）論詩三十首（八）金 – 元好問

論詩三十首（八）金 – 元好問

沈宋横驰翰墨场，风流初不废齐梁。

论功若准平吴例，合着黄金铸子昂。

A Quatrain by Yuan Hao-wen (Jin Dynasty)

Two famed poet-lords — Shen Yun-qing and Soong Yan-qing —

To Qi and Liang dynasties’ verse their flair still did cling.

If we judge their worth like Lord of Yue judged Fan Li’s,

We’d cast in gold a bust of Zi’ang, crowned as king.

Tr. Ziyuzile
