Yilin Verse

伯氏歸國,多所恨惑。車傾蓋亡,身常驚惶。乃得其願,雌雄相從。

Lord Bo returns to his country, beset by much resentment and doubt. The cart overturns, the canopy is lost; the body is ever startled and fearful. At last the wish is gained; female and male follow together.

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