隋宫
李商隐
乘兴南游不戒严，九重谁省谏书函。
春风举国裁宫锦，半作障泥半作帆。
The Southern Sui Palace
Li Shangyin
The Emperor toured south in a carefree and joyful mood；
Who dared to remonstrate with him and have his plan withstood？
Busy cutting brocades， the whole kingdom seemed in spring gales；
Half of finished products were for mud-barriers and half for sails.
