Yilin Verse

楚靈暴虐,罷極民力。禍起乾溪,棄疾作毒。扶仗奔逃,身死亥室。

King Ling of Chu was cruel and oppressive, exhausting the people’s strength. Disaster arose at Qianxi; Qiji brewed his poison. Leaning on his staff, the king fled; he died in the chamber of Hai.

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