The Book of Odes ยท 1 passage
The little boat of cypress rocks, Rocks in the midst of Ho; He was my lord, whose long dark locks Divided in their downward flow. Till death betide, His bride, I'll wed no other. O Heaven! O mother! Will you not understand your child? The little boat of cypress rocks There by the side of Ho; He was my only one, whose locks Divided in their downward flow. Till death betide, His bride, I'll wed no other. O Heaven! O mother! Far from me be the thing defiled! Will you not understand your child?
