《读蜀志》 王安石

千载纷争共一毛，
可怜身世两徒劳。
无人语与刘玄德，
问舍求田计最高。

Reading The Chronicle of Shu

For a thousand years the world has fought
over things as trivial as a feather—
What a pity!—
squandering lives for nothing.
Why has nobody told that Liu the truth:
his bet is to purchase some land,
And to farm
an easy living in the country?
