Shijing I. 9. (113)
Large rats ! Large rats !
Do not eat our millet.
Three years have we had to do with you,
And you have not been willing to show any regard for us.
We will leave you,
And go to that happy land.
Happy land ! Happy land !
There shall we find our place.
Large rats ! Large rats !
Do not eat our wheat.
Three years have we had to do with you,
And you have not been willing to show any kindness to us.
We will leave you,
And go to that happy State.
Happy State ! Happy State !
There shall we find ourselves right.
Large rats ! Large rats !
Do not eat our springing grain !
Three years have we had to do with you,
And you have not been willing to think of our toil.
We will leave you,
And go to those happy borders.
Happy borders ! Happy borders !
Who will there make us always to groan ?
