*
"The Book of Poetry", tr. by James Legge, [1876],

Ix

The "Wei Yang;" narrative. The feelings with which Duke K'ang of Ch'in escorted his uncle, Duke Wn, to Chin, and his parting gifts.

1i
escorted my uncle to Chin,

Till the Wei we crossed on the way.

Then I gave as I left

For his carriage a gift

Four steeds, and each steed was a bay. p. 150

2i
escorted my uncle to Chin,

And I thought of him much in my heart.

Pendant stones, and with them

Of fine jasper a gem,

I gave, and then saw him depart.
