Yilin Verse

吾有驊騮,畜之以時。東家翁孺,來請我車;價極可與,後無賤悔。

I possess a fine steed, kept and raised in its due season. The eastern neighbor elder and children come to ask for my carriage; the price is high enough to accept -- later there is no cheap regret.

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