毛詩序：「《有杕之杜》，刺晉武也。武公寡特，兼其宗族，而不求賢以自輔焉。」有杕之杜
有杕之杜，生于道左。彼君子兮，噬肯適我。中心好之，曷飲食之。
There is a solitary russet pear tree,
Growing on the left of the way.
That princely man there!
He might be willing to come to me.
In the centre of my heart I love him,
[But] how shall I supply him with drink and food?
有杕之杜，生于道周。彼君子兮，噬肯來遊。中心好之，曷飲食之。
There is a solitary russet pear tree,
Growing where the way makes a compass.
That princely man there!
He might be willing to come and ramble [with me].
In the centre of my heart I love him,
[But] how shall I supply him with drink and food?
《有杕之杜》，二章，章六句。
