When he should take the homeward way

And never beyond the valley stray。

But duty kept him in the west;

And there he found his place of rest。

The Founder of Han seized his gleaming blade

And at Mangdang Hills the blood of the white snake flowed。

But Sleeping Dragon conceived a noble ambition;

Within his breast were thoughts
