所任诚不良。
沐猴而冠带，知小而谋强。
But the former king employs a wavering man. Like a monkey dressed in man's attire, He is ignorant but tricky, a perfect liar.
犹豫不敢断，
As he hesitates to put rebellion down,
因狩执君王。
白虹为贯日，
The king is then abducted out of town. When the rainbow lies across the sun,
己亦先受殃。
贼臣持国柄，杀主灭宇京。
The evil omen means that his life is done. Dong Zhuo usurps the power in great haste; He kills the king and lays the capital to waste.
