戚将军赠宝剑歌
[明]王世贞
毋嫌身价抵千金，
一寸纯钩[1]一寸心。
欲识命轻恩重处，
灞陵[2]风雨夜来深。
注释：
[1]纯钩：古代宝剑名。
[2]灞陵：古地名，本作“霸陵”。故址在今陕西省西安市东。
General Qi’s Sword[1]
Wang Shizhen
Can thousand coins of gold buy a sword of this kind?
Each inch of steel reveals a battle-hardened mind.
For royal favor of his life he has made light:
No general but has suffered wind and rain at night.
注释：
[1]This sword was a gift of General Qi Jiguang for the poet. The general was out of favor with the emperor.
“Song of General Qi Presenting a Sword” is one of the works of Ming Dynasty poet Wang Shizhen. At a banquet, Qi Jiguang presented a sword to the poet, and the poet responded with this. There are a total of ten poems, and this one was originally ranked fifth. The author used the poem to sing about the sword to express his feelings of not being able to display his talents. The tone is sonorous, the aura is deep, and the emotions are full of magnificent thoughts.
