戒殺詩 ─ 贈獵騎
唐 杜牧 ( 803~852 )
已落雙鵰血尚新，
鳴鞭走馬又翻身；
憑君莫射南來雁，
恐有家書寄遠人。
──選自《御定全唐詩》

Abstaining from Killing: To Hunters
Du Mu (803 - 852, Tang Dynasty)
English translation: Miao Guang
Blood of the two fallen hawks still dripping from the shooting,
Horses driven by cracking whips are then skinned and cooked.
You are urged not to shoot the northbound geese,
For they could carry letters to homes from afar.
── from Yuding Quan Tangshi (Complete Imperial Selection of Tang Dynasty Poems)
