The Tung Fang Chih Jih; narrative. The licentious intercourse of the people of Ch‘i.
1When the sun is in the east,
That lovely girl I see. p. 108
In my chamber she appears;
There fronting me is she.
She treads upon my footsteps,
And quickly comes to me.
That lovely girl I see. p. 108
In my chamber she appears;
There fronting me is she.
She treads upon my footsteps,
And quickly comes to me.
2When the moon is in the east,
That lovely girl I see.
’Twixt door and screen she passes;
’Twixt screen and door is she.
She treads upon my footsteps,
And hastes away from me.
