Tradition tells us that Po-ch`i was filial and yet was abandoned
by his parents. Duke Yin was king, and yet was slain by his
younger brother. Shu-wu was a sage, and yet was killed by his
elder brother. Pi-kan was loyal, and yet was put to death by his
prince. The Ode says,[1]

Indeed I have commited no offense.
