丈夫非无泪，
不洒离别间。
杖剑[1]对尊[2]酒，
耻为游子颜。
蝮蛇[3]一螫[4]手，
壮士即解腕[5]。
所志在功名，
离别何足叹。

Parting
Lu Guimeng
A hero may shed tears,
Not when parting with peers.
Sword in hand, he drinks wine,
Unlike roamers who pine.
When bitten by the snake,
He would have his wrist break.
With his career at heart,
He won’t regret to part.
This poem talks about heroic parting.
