The thorn at burial gate / Should soon be cut away;
The usurper of the State / Should be exposed to the day;
If he’s exposed too late, / He’ll still do what he may.
墓门有梅，有鸮萃止。
夫也不良，歌以讯之。
讯予不顾，颠倒思予。
许渊冲
At burial gate there’s jujube tree, / On which owls perch all the day long;
The usurper from evil is not free. / Let’s warn him by a song!
But he won’t listen to our plea, / For he takes right for wrong.
