毛詩序：「《東門之枌》，疾亂也。幽公淫荒，風化之所行，男女棄其舊業，亟會於道路，歌舞於市井爾。」東門之枌
東門之枌，宛丘之栩。子仲之子，婆娑其下。
[There are] the white elms at the east gate.
And the oaks on Wanqiu;
The daughter of Zizhong,
Dances about under them.
穀旦于差，南方之原。不績其麻，市也婆娑。
A good morning having been chosen,
For the plain in the South,
She leaves twisting her hemp,
And dances to it through the market-place.
穀旦于逝，越以鬷邁。視爾如荍，貽我握椒。
The morning being good for excursion,
They all proceed together.
'I look on you as the flower of the thorny mallows;
You give me a stalk of the pepper plant.
《東門之枌》，三章，章四句。
