- Tomb of Prince Yue of EPoetryZhao Mengfu
On the tomb of the Prince of E the grass grows thick; in the autumn sun, desolate, the stone beasts stand tottering. The ruler and ministers who crossed south made light of the state; the elders of the Central Plains watched for the banners. The hero is dead; what use is lamenting now? The realm was split in two and could no longer hold. Do not sing this song by the West Lake: the light on the water and the colours of the hills cannot bear such grief.
