在此诗中，诗人一腔侠义之情再现得淋漓尽致，透过没有任何“形似之言”的四个短句，读者可以看到颇有英雄豪气的诗人形象。诗人借用信陵君的典故，直抒胸臆，有直接撼动人心的力量。
《答武陵太守》 王昌龄
仗剑行千里，微躯敢一言。
曾为大梁客，不负信陵恩。
Reply to Prefect of Wuling
Wang Changling
For miles and miles I have my sword employed,
With my humble words you won't be annoyed.
I have rendered poor service by your side.
Please accept my gratitude justified.
