Retaking the Capital
III
Sweating horses retook the palace,
in the spring city the rebels’ trenches are scraped flat.
In reward they will surely sing “Russet[1] Pear,”
the return is in time to present cherries.
Federate barbarians’ brandished pikes are thick,
the mansions of meritorious[2] officials rise high.
Good news is brought often from all quarters,
His Majesty has no choice but to personally reward them.
