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