Yilin Verse

安床厚褥,不歸久宿。棄我喜宴,困於南國。投杼之憂,弗成禍災。

The bed made soft with thick quilts, yet he does not return to sleep. He abandons our glad feast, stranded in the southern land. The worry of throwing the shuttle; yet it does not become true disaster.

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