Yilin Verse

驪姬讒嬉,與二孽謀。譖啄恭子,賊害忠孝。駕出嘉門,商伯有喜。

Lady Li slandered and schemed, plotting with the two wicked ones. She maligned the dutiful prince, harming the loyal and filial. But the carriage departed through the fine gate -- the merchant lord found joy.

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