Shijing I. 12. (141)
At the gate to the tombs there are jujube trees ; –
They should be cut away with an axe.
That man is not good,
And the people of the State know it.
They know it, but he does not give over ; –
Long time has it been thus with him.
At the gate to the tombs there are plum trees ;
And there are owls collecting on them.
That man is not good,
And I sing [this song] to admonish him.
I admonish him, but he will not regard me ; –
When he is overthrown, he will think of me.
Legge 141
