X The Shan Yu Fu Su; allusive. A lady mocking her lover. 1On mountain grows the mulberry tree; The lotus flower in meadow damp. It is not Tzŭ-tu that I see, But only you, you foolish scamp! 2Polygonums the damp meads cover; To lofty pines on mountains view. It is not Tzŭ-ch‘ung comes as lover; You artful boy, ‘tis only you!
