1 | 墓門: |
墓門有棘、斧以斯之。 夫也不良、國人知之。 知而不已、誰昔然矣。 |
Mu Men: |
At the gate to the tombs there are jujube trees; - They should be cut away with an axe. That man is not good, And the people of the State know it. They know it, but he does not give over; - Long time has it been thus with him. | |
2 | 墓門: |
墓門有梅、有鴞萃止。 夫也不良、歌以訊之。 訊予不顧、顛倒思予。 |
Mu Men: |
At the gate to the tombs there are plum trees; And there are owls collecting on them. That man is not good, And I sing [this song] to admonish him. I admonish him, but he will not regard me; - When he is overthrown, he will think of me. |
