經律異相 47.20

47.20

我雖是小鳥　識恩不惜死
但王不念恩　自負言誓重
若能小寬弘　少多見惠者
沒命終不恨　不敢有譏論

'"Though I am a small bird,
I recognize kindness and do not begrudge death.
It is only the King who forgets kindness,
Breaking your own solemn vow.
If you could be slightly magnanimous
And grant me a little favor,
Even dying, I would bear no grudge,
Nor dare to offer blame or criticism."'
