VII
The Lang Po; allusive. The praise of the duke of Chou, more distinguished through his trials.
1Dewlap o’ergrown and heavy tail
Th’ impatient wolf impede or trip.
But see the duke, humble while tried!
Along his red shoes quiet slip.
Th’ impatient wolf impede or trip.
But see the duke, humble while tried!
Along his red shoes quiet slip.
2Tail heavy and dewlap o’ergrown,
Th’ impatient wolf trip or impede.
But see the duke, humble while tried,
His fame unflawed by hasty deed!
