Su Wu the Shepherd
Su Wu kept his honour in Hu, (= 将其尊严留于胡地 = with honor kept Su Wu in Hu,so long as ...=misuse?)
In the ice and snow
For nineteen years of grief.
He drank the snow,
And swallowed the felt,
With sheep he stayed in tow.
With Han in mind,
He never bowed to his foe.
Out of tortures
Iron will did grow.
Sitting at night, hearing flute sound
Brought him more woe.
To Han wild geese fly
When North winds blow.
His white-haired mum,
Waits for her son, oh,
Bride on bed alone.
Midnight in dream flow
Who’ve dreamed about whom?
Even dry seas go,
No shame would he bear,
To make all Xiongnu fall at his toe
And never to Han say no.
