Resigning As Minister

罷相作 (李適之)
避賢初罷相
樂聖且銜杯
為問門前客
今朝幾個來

To Stop - Minister - To Work (Li Shi Zhi)
To Avoid - Worthy - First - To Stop - Minister
To Enjoy - Sage - And - To Hold In Mouth - Cup
To - To Ask - Door - Front - Visitor
Today - Early Morning - Some - Classifier for People and Things - To Arrive

Resigning as Minister (Li Shi Zhi)
Stepping aside for the worthy I first resign as minister
Enjoying sage and holding in the mouth
To ask a visitor at the door
How many have come today

今朝: today

銜杯: hold in mouth

This poem is about a minster who has been forced to resign by drinking poisoned wine and now no longer receives any petitioners.
