Yilin Verse

東山家辭,處婦思夫。伊威盈室,長股羸戶。歎我君子,役日未已。

The ballad of Dongshan bids farewell to home; the wife left behind longs for her husband. Woodlice fill the chamber, crane flies crowd the door. She sighs for her lord; his days of service are not yet done.

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