I. Po Chou
Book IV. The Odes of Yung
I
The Po Chou; allusive. Protest of a widow against being urged to marry again.
1In the mid Ho that cypress boat floats free,
While friends a second marriage press on me.
I see my husband's youthful forehead there,
And on it the twin tufts of falling hair.
Rather than wed again I'll die, I swear!
O mother dear, O Heaven supreme, why should
You not allow my vow, and aid my purpose good?
While friends a second marriage press on me.
I see my husband's youthful forehead there,
And on it the twin tufts of falling hair.
Rather than wed again I'll die, I swear!
O mother dear, O Heaven supreme, why should
You not allow my vow, and aid my purpose good?
2Near to the bank that cypress boat floats free,
While friends a second marriage press on me.
He was my only one, with forehead fair,
And on it the twin tufts of falling hair.
Till death to shun the evil thing I swear!
O mother dear, O Heaven supreme, why should
You not allow my vow, and aid my purpose good?
