毛詩:「《》,莊王不明賢人放逐國人。」





On the mound where is the hemp,
Some one is detaining Zijie.
Some one is there detaining Zijie; -
Would that he would come jauntily [to me]!



On the mound where is the wheat,
Some one is detaining Ziguo.
Some one is there detaining Ziguo; -
Would that he would come and eat with me!



On the mound where are the plum trees,
Some one is detaining those youths.
Some one is there detaining those youths; -
They will give me Jiu-stones for my girdle.
