Shijing I. 9. (109)
Of the peach trees in the garden,
The fruit may be used as food.
My heart is grieved,
And I play and sing.
Those who do not know me,
Say I am a scholar venting his pride.
' Those men are right ;
What do you mean by your words ? '
My heart is grieved ;
Who knows [the cause of] it ?
Who knows [the cause of] it ?
[They know it not], because they will not think.
Of the jujube trees in the garden,
The fruit may be used as food.
My heart is grieved,
And I think I must travel about through the State.
Those who do not know me,
Say I am an officer going to the verge of license.
' Those men are right ;
What do you mean by your words ? '
My heart is grieved ;
Who knows [the cause of] it ?
Who knows [the cause of] it ?
[They do not know it], because they will not think.
