The Chu; narrative. A bride describes her first meeting with her bridegroom.
1He waited ’tween the gate and screen,
With ear-plug strings of white silk seen.
The plugs themselves had hua stones’ sheen.
With ear-plug strings of white silk seen.
The plugs themselves had hua stones’ sheen.
2He waited in the court and stood,
With ear-plug strings of silk green-hued.
The plugs themselves were yung stones good.
3There in the hall he stood and stayed.
Of yellow silk his plug strings made.
The plugs of fine ying gems displayed.
