The Pe How

Rent is the basket at the dam,
Where bream and kwan abound ;
As useless is the prince of Loo,
In vigour wanting found.
Ts‘e’s daughter now to Ts‘e comes back,
Her followers as a cloud ;
Her son should hold her fast in Loo,
Her wickedness to shroud.

Rent is the basket at the dam,
Where bream and tench abound ;
As useless is the prince of Loo,
In vigour wanting found.
Back comes Ts‘e’s daughter, with a shower
Of followers at her side ;
Her son should hold her fast in Loo,
Her wanton ways to hide.

Rent is the basket at the dam;
Fish in and out can go;
As useless is the prince of Loo,
And vigour fails to show.
Back comes Ts‘e’s daughter, with a stream
Of followers behind ;
Her son should hold her fast in Loo,
From such lewd ways confined.
