Zhang Xiu and Lu Bu challenged the bold。
But overtopping all Cao Cao the strong
Became first minister； and to his side；
Drew many able people。 He swayed the court；
Without； he held the nobles in his hand；
By force of arms he held the capital
Against all rivals。 Of imperial stock
Was born Liu Bei； who with sworn brothers twain
Made oath the dynasty should be restored。
These wandered homeless east and west for years；
A petty force。 But Destiny was kind
And led Liu Bei to Nanyang's rustic cot；
Where lay Sleeping Dragon； he who
Already that the empire must be rent。
Twice Liu Bei essayed in vain to see the sage
Once more he went？ And then his fortune turned。
Jingzhou fell to him； followed the River Lands；
A fitting base to build an empire on。
Alas！ He ruled there only three short years；
Then left his only son to Zhuge Liang's care。
Full nobly Zhuge Liang played protector's part；
Unceasing strove to win first place for Shu；
But Fate forbade； one night for aye his star
Went down behind the rampart of the hills。
Jiang Wei the strong inherited his task
And struggled on for years。
But Zhong Hui and Deng Ai
Attacked the Hans' last stronghold； and it fell。
Five sons of Cao Cao sat on the dragon throne；
And Sima Yan snatched the court from Cao Huang。
Before him bowed the kings of Shu and Wu；
Content to forfeit kingly power for life。
All down the ages rings the note of change；
For fate so rules it； none escapes its sway。
The three kingdoms have vanished as a dream；
The useless misery is ours to grieve。
