What man was that ?
His mind is full of dangerous devices .
Why did he approach my dam ,
Without entering my gate ?
Of whom is he a follower ?
I venture to say , —of Bao .

Those two follow each other in their goings ;—
Which of them wrought me this calamity ?
Why came he to my dam ,
Without entering to condole with me ?
Our former relations were different from the present ,
When he will have nothing to do with me .

Without entering to condole with me ?
Our former relations were different from the present ,
When he will have nothing to do with me .
What man was it ?
Why came he to the path inside my gate ?
I heard his voice ,
But did not see his person .
He is not ashamed before men ;
He does not stand in awe of Heaven .
Why came he to the path inside my gate ?
I heard his voice ,
But did not see his person .
He is not ashamed before men ;
He does not stand in awe of Heaven .
What man was it ?
He is like a violent wind .
Why came he not from the north ?
Or why not from the south ?
Why did he approach my dam ,
Doing nothing but perturb my mind ?

You go along slowly ,
And yet you have not leisure to stop !
You go along rapidly ,
And yet you have leisure to grease your wheels !
If you would come to me but once !—
Why am I kept in a state of expectation ?
And yet you have not leisure to stop !
You go along rapidly ,
And yet you have leisure to grease your wheels !
If you would come to me but once !—
Why am I kept in a state of expectation ?
If on your return you entered my house ,
My heart would be relieved .
When on your return you do not enter it ,
It is hard to understand your denial .
If you would come to me but once ,
It would set me at rest .
My heart would be relieved .
When on your return you do not enter it ,
It is hard to understand your denial .
If you would come to me but once ,
It would set me at rest .
The elder of us blew the porcelain whistle ,
And the younger blew the bamboo flute ;
I was as if strung on the same string with you .
If indeed you do not understand me ,
Here are the three creatures [for sacrifice] ,
And I will take an oath to you .
And the younger blew the bamboo flute ;
I was as if strung on the same string with you .
If indeed you do not understand me ,
Here are the three creatures [for sacrifice] ,
And I will take an oath to you .
If you were an imp or a water-bow ,
You could not be got at .
But when one with face and eyes stands opposite to another ,
The man can be seen through and through .
I have made this good song ,
To probe to the utmost your veerings and turnings .
You could not be got at .
But when one with face and eyes stands opposite to another ,
The man can be seen through and through .
I have made this good song ,
To probe to the utmost your veerings and turnings .
