| 1 | 二子乘舟: |
二子乘舟、泛泛其景。 愿言思子、中心养养。 |

The two youths got into their boats, Whose shadows floated about [on the water]. I think longingly of them, And my heart is tossed about in uncertainty. | |

二子乘舟、泛泛其逝。 愿言思子、不瑕有害。 |

The two youths got into their boats, Which floated away [on the stream]. I think longingly of them, Did they not come to harm? |
