Beneath my door made of cross pieces of wood,
I can rest at my leisure ;
By the wimpling stream from my fountain,
I can joy amid my hunger.
Why, in eating fish ;
Must we have bream from the He ?
Why, in taking a wife,
Must we have a Jiang of Qi ?
Why, in eating fish ;
Must we have carp from the He ?
Why, in taking a wife,
Must we have a Zi of Song ?
Legge 138
Au-dessous de la porte Heng
l'on peut se reposer tranquille !
L'eau de la source coule, coule !
l'on peut s'amuser et manger.
Quand l'on veut manger du poisson
faut-il avoir brêmes du Fleuve ?
Lorsque l'on veut prendre une femme
faut-il des princesses de Ts'i ?
Quand l'on veut manger du poisson
faut-il avoir carpes du Fleuve ?
Lorsque l'on veut prendre une femme
faut-il des princesses de Song ?
Granet XXIV.
