[edit] awkward translation.
I sincerely revere his royalty for his lord, so put down his poem on the article which was made right before his death execution. However, I'm afraid I made a clumsy English translation from Old Korean language. So if anyone is willing to mend the text, I will appreciate it. Thanks.
Just for the information for whom does not know about Korean history, Heungreung is the tomb of King Munjong whose son was Danjong for whom Sayuksin died to keep their loyalty against the usurper King Sejo. Munjong passed away at his early 30 and asked his retainers to take care of his young son and next king, Danjong by his death bed. Munjong knew well about the ambition of his younger brother, Suyang daegun, so his son's life was in danger from him. The last passage of the poem indicates that after Seong Sammun dies, he will go to see his former lord, Munjong, and said to him about his duty for Danjong.
