Shijing I. 8. (97)
How agile you are !
You met me in the neighbourhood of Nao,
And we pursued together tow boars of three years.
You bowed to me, and said that I was active.
How admirable your skill !
You met me in the way to Nao,
And we drove together after two males.
You bowed to me, and said that I was skilful.
How complete your art !
You met me on the south of Nao,
And we pursued together two wolves.
You bowed to me, and said that I was dexterous.
