Living
A Refugee Heir of Ts'in assisted in his Eights
Translated by William Jennings (1891) · From The Shi King (Jennings, 1891), Part I, Book xi
Living
Escorting my cousin
There north of the Wai so far,
What gifts did I leave him?
Bay team for a ducal car.
My cousin's escorting
Aye long in my thoughts abides.
What gifts did I leave him?
Rich gems for his belt besides.
