The Book of Poetry: Book VII. The Odes of Chêng: XIII. Ch‘ien Shang
The Book of Poetry, tr. by James Legge, [1876]
2If you, good sir, continue to be kind,
I'll hold my garments up the Wei to cross.
If you prefer ’bout me to change your mind,
Is there no other to replace your loss?
Of all the foolish youths I've seen,
Most foolish you I well may ween.
