The Book of Poetry: Book XII. The Odes of Ch‘ên: III. Hêng Mên
The Book of Poetry, tr. by James Legge, [1876]
2Purged from. ambition's aims, I say, "For fish,
We need not bream caught in the Ho;
Nor, to possess the sweets of love, require
To Ch‘i, to find a Chiang, to go.
3"The man contented with his lot, a meal
Of fish without Ho carp can make;
Nor needs, to rest in his domestic joy,
A Tzŭ of Sung as wife to take."
