Shijing I. 7. (84)

On the mountain is the mulberry tree ;
In the marshes is the lotus flower.
I do not see Zidu,
But I see this mad fellow.

On the mountain is the lofty pine ;
In the marshes is the psreading water-polygonum..
I do not see Zichong,
But I see this artful boy.

Legge 84

Le fou-sou est sur les monts,
les nénuphars aux vallons !
Je n'aperçois pas Tseu T'ou
et je ne vois que des fous !

Les grands pins sont sur les monts,
la renouée aux vallons !
Je n'aperçois pas Tseu Tch'ong
mais d'astucieux garçons !

Granet XXXI.
