The Book of Poetry: Book I. The Odes of Chou and the South: VII. T‘u Chüeh
The Book of Poetry, tr. by James Legge, [1876]
2Careful he is his rabbit nets to place,
Where many paths of rabbits’ feet bear trace.
Stalwart the man and bold! ‘tis plain to see
He to his prince companion good would be.
3Careful he is his rabbit nets to spread,
Where in the forest's depth the trees give shade.
Stalwart the man and bold! fit his the part
Guide to his prince to be, and faithful heart.
