The Soldiers’ Pledge on Their Departure
With pent-up wrath and thirst for revenge,
We take up our halberds and spears.
In high morale we shall avenge
His Majesty’s inflicted smears!
Like eagles swooping on the rats
Our forces will put all to rout.
Once he becomes dauntless of death
One can wipe a hundred men out.
Providence blesses only th’ just,
And th’ Wu troops are inviting their doom.
His Majesty’s humiliation wip’d off,
Our army’s prestige will boost and boom.
Like Pixiu, th’ fierce mythical beast of prey,
We’ll firmly maintain our battle array.
Let’s go all out, with our courage pluck’d up!
Ho, hup — hup! Ho, hup — hup!
