Much toilful husband-folk, regarding wide,
Bent under burdens, like to beasts of charge;
Men clothed in silk, we see go ín large glebe.
And presently hím, whom mirrored we have sought;
By great good hap, we eyed, in a field path;
Kung the wise-hearted, loitering nót far off:
As was his custom, on a country-side;
Mongst the Lands commons, ancient of mild mood.
 

Confucius.
