THE SHI-KING<br />

!<br />

!<br />

Anxiety of a Young Lady to Get Married<br />

Ripe, the plums fall from the bough;<br />

Only seven-tenths left there now<br />

Ye whose hearts on me are set.<br />

Now the time is fortunate<br />

Ripe, the plums fall from the bough<br />

Only three-tenths left there now<br />

! !<br />

Ye who wish my love to gain,<br />

Will not now apply in vain<br />

No more plums upon the bough!<br />

All are in my basket now!<br />

Ye who me with ardor seek.<br />

Need the word but freely speak<br />
