She waked up to find herself to be
A servant of the enemy’s house,
And clinging to a tainted life with difficulty,
Bitterly lost her spouse.
She remarried a servant who’s an ex-servant of her house,
As her suitable new position,
But alas, a stubborn scholar's impeachment
Led to her sorrowful execution.
