Shijing I. 15. (159)
In the net with its nine bags,
Are rud and bream.
We see this prince,
With his grand-ducal robe and embroidered skirt.
The wild geese fly [only] about the islets.
The duke is returning ; – is it not to his proper place ?
He was stopping with you [and me] but for a couple of nights.
The wild geese fly about the land.
The duke is returning, and will not come back here ?
He was lodging with you [and me] but for a couple of nights.
Legge 159
