Shi JIng - 226

小雅
(MINOR ODES OF THE KINGDOM)

雅 者、正也、正樂之歌也。其篇本有大小之殊、而先儒說又各有正變之別。以今考之、正小雅、燕饗之樂也、正大雅、會朝之樂、受釐陳戒之辭也。故或歡欣和說、以 盡群下之情、或恭敬齊莊、以發先王之德、詞氣不同、音節亦異、多周公制作時所定也。及其變也、則事未必同、而各以其聲附之。其次序時世、則有不可考者矣。

都人士之什(DECADE OF DU REN SHI)


采綠  CAI LU

終朝采綠、不盈一匊。
予髮曲局、薄言歸沐。
終朝采藍、不盈一擔。
五日為期、六日不儋。
我不見兮、我心不說。
彼都人士、充耳琇實。
彼君子女、謂之尹吉。
我不見兮、我心苑結。
彼都人士、垂帶而厲。
彼君子女、卷髮如蠆。
我不見兮、言從之邁。
匪伊垂之、帶則有餘。
匪伊卷之、髮則有旟。
我不見兮、云何盱矣。
All the morning I gather the king-grass ,
And do not collect enough to fill my hands .
My hair is in a wisp ; --
I will go home and wash it .
All the morning I gather the indigo plant ,
And do not collect enough to fill my apron .
Five days was the time agreed on ; --
It is the sixth , and I do not see him .
When he went a hunting ,
I put the bow in its case for him .
When he went to fish ,
I arranged his line for him .
What did he take in angling ?
Bream and tench ; --
Bream and tench ,
While people [looked on] to see .
