Ok here they are (sorry to let you wait 'cos it took long to compose the stuff)
-- I am taking the liberty to 'cast a brick to attract jade':

No gratification from the outside;
No depression with ourselves.

God never betrays who takes great pains.
Sleeping on brushwood and tasting gall,
A force of a few thousands does annex Wu.

Where there's a will there's a way.
Boats burned and cauldrons broken,
Hundreds of Qin passes end up under Chu.

Though I'm not that disappointed with my English interpretation, I'm afraid 
I have to do some homework as well as some lab work right away.  Bye!
