Shi Jing, The Book of Odes: Lessons from the states, Odes Of Bei

[x_los]

This is a longer chapter than the previous two, and people are still catching up with the last two chapters/acclimating to the format. Thus we'll only do one chapter this week.

I'm going to post this week's poem translations in the body of the discussion to make commenting a bit easier. 

Get your 'odes of bae' jokes out early, before the rush.

魏 , 湜 CLOSER! But sill no. It's never the one you think. The one you think is like fuckin lupus.

Ok so this HORRIBLE guy has finally stabilised this family's financial situation and he's taken a hot new second wife and is neglecting the first wife who helped him through the shitty years. She hopes that at LEAST he will still be good to their kids?

What a fucker.
