The Shu YĆ¼ Tāien; narrative. The admiration with which Shu Tuan was regarded.
1To the hunt Shu has gone,
And people there are none
Ā Ā Remaining in the street.
Perhaps a few you'll find;
But none like Shu so kind,
Ā Ā So graceful, will you meet.
And people there are none
Ā Ā Remaining in the street.
Perhaps a few you'll find;
But none like Shu so kind,
Ā Ā So graceful, will you meet.
2To the chase Shu has gone,
And people there are none
Ā Ā Left feasting in the street.
If find a few you could,
Yet none like Shu so good,
Ā Ā So graceful, would you meet.
3To the fields Shu has gone,
And people there are none
Ā Ā Careering through the street.
Some riders though you told,
Yet none like Shu so bold,
Ā Ā So graceful, would you meet.
