The Ch‘üan Yü; narrative, Some parties, probably refugees, complain of the diminished respect and attention paid to them.
1He lodged us in a spacious house,
And plenteous was our fare.
But now at every frugal meal
There's not a scrap to spare.
Alas! alas that this good man
Could not go on as he began!
And plenteous was our fare.
But now at every frugal meal
There's not a scrap to spare.
Alas! alas that this good man
Could not go on as he began!
2Four dishes on the mat the grain
For every meal supplied.
The change is great, from every meal
We rise unsatisfied.
Alas! alas that this good man
Could not go on as he began!
