The Scholar Recruit

By: Pao Chao (died 466 CE)

Now late
I follow Time’s Necessity:
Mounting a barricade I pacify remote tribes.
Discarding my sash I don a coat of hide.
Rolling up my skirts I shoulder a black bow.
Even at the very start my strength fails:
What will become of me before it’s all over?
