Yilin Verse

三女為姦,俱遊高園。倍室夜行,與伯笑言。不忍主母,為設歡酒,冤尤誰禱。

Three women conspire in mischief, together roaming the high garden. Leaving the house by night, exchanging laughter with the elder. Unable to face the mistress, they set out wine of appeasement; to whom shall the wronged one pray?

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