詩經 Book of Odes - 我行其野 WO XING QI YE
我行其野、蔽芾其樗。
婚姻之故、言就爾居。
爾不我畜、復我邦家。
我行其野、言采其蓫。
婚姻之故、言就爾宿。
爾不我畜、言歸思復。
我行其野、言采其葍。
不思舊姻、求爾新特。
成不以富、亦祇以異。
I travelled through the country ,
Where the Fetid tree grew luxuriant .
Because of our affinity by marriage ,
I went to reside with you .
But you do not entertain me ;
And I go back to my country and clan .
I travelled through the country ,
Gathering the sheep's-foot .
Because of our affinity by marriage ,
I came to lodge with you .
But you do not entertain me ;
And I will return , I will go back .
I travelled through the country ,
Gathering the pokeweed .
You do not think of our old affinity ,
And seek to please your new relative .
If indeed you are not influenced by her riches ,
You still are so by the difference [between the new and the old] .
