李适之·《罢相作》英译

避贤初罢相，乐圣且衔杯。

为问门前客，今朝几个来？

After My Resignation as Prime Minister

Li Shizhi

I resign my post of prime minister to the wiser,

And drink from a wine cup every day to my heart’s pleasure.

Of all those who came as guests to my house in the past,

How many are now willing to come and see me at last?
