Re: 82. 女曰雞鳴 - Nu Yue Ji Ming

Aww, this poem is so cute.

Baidu says the morning star be not shining is the husband's response -- it's not timeeeeee to wake up yet the stars are still out!! And then the wife is like, you gotta go bag those birds. (Unclear if this is total consensus on the poem lol)

The ornaments are apparently a gift from the husband to the wife as a love token. The last stanza lists some of the things the wife is (caring/appreciative, agreeable/considerate, in love with) and how he repays them with tokens. (I.. am like 90% sure; the language is a bit too sparse for me to completely parse)
