dankodes Some notes:
* Every week I search the poems' English results to see if I can find any scholarship or neat bits and pop the results in Resources. Here is this week's collection.
* I believe the reminder emails have stopped, so I'll seek a new service to run that. I forgot to get to it this week--will make a note.
When the second batch of these is up and running, if you would like not to be on the list and there isn't an unsubscribe option in the email itself, please just respond 'unsubscribe' or something and I'll take you off the reminder roster.
* IF YOU HAVE FRIENDS WHO MIGHT LIKE TO JOIN or have other ideas, please let me know on this post.
* If you haven't read it yet, chapter one, on tetrasyllabic shi poetry, in How to Read Chinese Poetry is hugely useful for the Book of Odes, imo.
**NEXT BATCH FEB 8.**

Re: 104. 敝笱 - Bi Gou
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.
