The General's Plaque

The General's Plaque
by Ho Xuan Hong (late 18th century)
translated by Graeme Wilson

The much-praised general made such a cock of things
That thousands of men were slaughtered. All may view
The temple-plaque in his honour. No one sings
Praise of the wives, each left with the work of two.
