The Pi Kou; metaphorical. The bold licentious freedom of Wên Chiang in returning to Ch‘i;—against Duke Chuang of Lu, her son.
1Rent is the basket at the dam, Where bream and kuan abound; As useless is the prince of Lu, In vigor wanting found. Ch‘i’s daughter now to Chi comes back, Her followers as a cloud; Her son should hold her fast in Lu, Her wickedness to shroud.
2Rent is the basket at the dam, Where bream and tench abound; As useless is the prince of Lu, In vigor wanting found. Back comes Ch‘i’s daughter, with a shower Of followers at her side, p. 113 Her son should hold her fast in Lu, Her wanton ways to hide.
3Rent is the basket at the dam; Fish in and out can go; As useless is the prince of Lu, And vigor fails to show. Back comes Ch‘i’s daughter, with a stream Of followers behind; Her son should hold her fast in Lu, From such lewd ways confined.

1Rent is the basket at the dam,
Where bream and kuan abound;
As useless is the prince of Lu,
In vigor wanting found.
Ch‘i’s daughter now to Chi comes back,
Her followers as a cloud;
Her son should hold her fast in Lu,
Her wickedness to shroud.
2Rent is the basket at the dam,
Where bream and tench abound;
As useless is the prince of Lu,
In vigor wanting found.
Back comes Ch‘i’s daughter, with a shower
Of followers at her side, p. 113
Her son should hold her fast in Lu,
Her wanton ways to hide.

Back comes Ch‘i’s daughter, with a stream
Of followers behind;

From such lewd ways confined.
