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!

之子之子

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.
