大车扬飞尘，
亭午暗阡陌[1]。

谁知尧[9]与跖[10]！

Eunuchs and Cock-fighters （ⅩⅩⅣ）
Li Bai
The dust which eunuchs’ carriages raise
Darkens at noon the public ways.
Of their gold the eunuchs are proud;
Their mansions rise to scrape the cloud
I meet those who can make cocks fight,
With caps and cabs, so fair and bright.
Into rainbows they blow their breath,
Passers-by are frightened to death.
There is no connoisseur in this age.
Who can tell a thief from a sage?
The poet criticizes the rich and influential eunuchs and cock-fighters.
