There are the branches of the sparrow-gourd ; —
There is that lad , with the spike at his girdle .
Though he carries a spike at his girdle ,
He does not know us .
How easy and conceited is his manner ,
With the ends of his girdle hanging down as they do !

There are the leaves of the sparrow-gourd ; —
There is that lad with the archer's thimble at his girdle .
Though he carries an archer's thimble at his girdle ,
He is not superior to us .
How easy and conceited is his manner ,
With the ends of his girdle hanging down as they do !
