It is said in the Book of Poetry (II, viii, ode 6, 1),
'"Now shoot," he says, "and show your skill."
。」The other answers, "Shoot I will, And hit the mark;--and when you miss, Pray you the penal cup to kiss."
'To pray' is to ask.
The archer seeks to hit that he may decline the cup.
The liquor in the cup
is designed (properly) to nourish the aged,
or the sick.
When the archer seeks to hit that he may decline the cup,
that is declining what should serve to nourish (those that need it).
