帕布莉卡《小雅·祈父》是中国古代第一部诗歌总集《诗经》中的一首诗。此诗写的是周王朝的王都卫士（相当于后世的御林军）对祈父（掌管军事大权的司马）的斥责，抒发其内心的不满情绪。全诗三章，每章四句，皆以质问的语气抒发内心的怨恨，直抒胸臆，快人快语，充分体现了武士心直口快、敢怒敢言的性格特征。
祈父[1]
祈父，
予王之爪牙。
胡转予于恤[2]？
靡所止居。
祈父，
予王之爪士。
胡转予于恤？
靡所厎[3]止。
祈父：
亶[4]不聪。
胡转予于恤？
有母[5]之尸[6]饔[7]。
大司马呀大司马，
我是大王的爪牙。
什么让我患忧愁？
居无定所四处漂流。
大司马呀大司马，
我是大王的爪牙。
什么让我心担忧？
无处安身心发愁。
大司马呀大司马，
实在不听民众声。
为啥陷我忧患中？
让我挨饿又忍饥。

To the Minister of War[1]
O minister of war!
We’re soldiers of the crown.
Why send us to an expeditionary corps
So that we cannot settle down?
O minister of war!
We’re guardians’ of this land.
Why send us to an expeditionary corps
So that we’re under endless command?
O minister of war!
Why don’t you listen to others?
Why send us to an expeditionary corps
So that we cannot feed out mothers?
[1] The soldiers of the Royal Guard complained of the service imposed on them by the minis ter of war in 787 B. C. when the royal army had sustained a great defeat from some of the northern tribes and the royal guards were ordered to join the expeditionary force , a duty which did not belong to them.
