III The Shu Yü T‘ien; narrative. The admiration with which Shu Tuan was regarded. 1To the hunt Shu has gone, And people there are none Remaining in the street. Perhaps a few you'll find; But none like Shu so kind, So graceful, will you meet. 2To the chase Shu has gone, And people there are none Left feasting in the street. If find a few you could, Yet none like Shu so good, So graceful, would you meet. 3To the fields Shu has gone, And people there are none Careering through the street. Some riders though you told, Yet none like Shu so bold, So graceful, would you meet.
