Yilin Verse

三女為姦,俱遊高園;倍室夜行,與伯笑言。不忍主母,失禮酒冤,皇天誰告。

Three women plotting mischief, all roaming the high garden. Leaving their chambers to walk by night; with the elder brother, laughing and talking. Unable to face the lady of the house; rites abandoned, wine-soured grievance -- to whom in heaven can one appeal?

— Jiao Yanshou, Yilin (Forest of Changes), 1st century BCE
