Shijing II. 8. (230)

There is that little oriole,
Resting on a bend of the mound.
The way is distant,
And I am very much wearied.
Give me drink, give me food ;
Inform me, teach me ;
Order one of the attending carriages,
And tell them to carry me.

There is that little oriole,
Resting on a corner of the mound.
It is not that I dare to shrink from the journey,
But I am afraid of not being able to go on.
Give me drink, give me food ;
Inform me, teach me ;
Order one of the attending carriages,
And tell them to carry me.

There is that little oriole,
Resting on the side of the mound.
It is not that I dare to shrink from the journey,
But I am afraid of not getting to the end of it.
Give me drink, give me food ;
Inform me, teach me ;
Order one of the attending carriages,
And tell them to carry me.
