Shijing I. 13. (146)

In your lamb's fur you saunter about ;
In your fox's fur you hold your court.
How should I not think anxiously about you ?
My toiled heart is full of grief.

In your lamb's fur you wander aimlessly about ;
In your fox's fur you appear in your hall.
How should I not think anxiously about you ?
My heart is wounded with sorrow.

Your lamb's fur, as if covered with ointment ;
Glistens when the sun comes forth.
How should I not think anxiously about you ?
To the core of my heart I am grieved.

Legge 146

Shijing I. 13. (147)

If I could but see the white cap,
And the earnest mourner worn to leanness ! –
My toiled heart is worn with grief !

If I could but see the white [lower] dress ! –
My heart is wounded with sadness !
I should be inclined to go and live with the wearer !

If I could but see the white knee-covers ! –
Sorrow is knotted in my heart !
I should almost feel as of one soul with the wearer !

Legge 147

Shijing I. 13. (148)

Au val est un carambolier ;
douce est la grâce de ses branches !
Que sa jeunesse a de vigueur !
quelle joie que tu n'aies pas de connaissance !

Au val est un carambolier ;
douce est la grâce de ses fleurs !
Que sa jeunesse a de vigueur !
quelle joie que tu n'aies pas de mari !

Au val est un carambolier ;
douce est la grâce de ses fruits !
Que sa jeunesse a de vigueur !
quelle joie que tu n'aies pas de femme !

Granet II.

In the low wet grouds is the carambola tree ;
Soft and pliant are its branches,
With the glossiness of tender beauty.
I should rejoice to be like you, [O tree], without consciousness.

In the low, damp grounds is the carambola tree ;
Soft and delicate are its flowers,
With the glossiness of its tender beauty.
I should rejoice to be like you, [O tree], without a family.

In the low, damp grounds is the carambola tree ;
Soft and delicate is its fruit,
With the glossiness of its tender beauty.
I should rejoice to be like you, [O tree], without a household.

Legge 148

Shijing I. 13. (149)

Not for the violence of the wind ;
Not for a rushing motion of a chariot ; –
But when I look to the road to Zhou,
Am I pained to the core of my heart.

Not for the whirlwind ;
Not for the irregular motion of a chariot ; –
But when I look to the road to Zhou,
Am I sad to the core of my heart.

Who can cook fish ?
I will wash his boilers for him.
Who will loyally go to the west ?
I will cheer him with good words.
