Yilin Verse
炙魚銅斗，張伺夜鼠。不忍香味，機發為祟。祟在頭頸，筰不得去。
Broiling fish in a bronze pot, waiting in ambush for the night rat. Unable to resist the fragrant smell, the trap springs and becomes the bane. The bane strikes at head and neck; the snare cannot be removed.
— Jiao Yanshou, Yilin (Forest of Changes), 1st century BCE
