Would you gather the liquorice, would you gather the liquorice, |
|
On the top of Shouyang? |
|
When men tell their stories, |
|
Do not readily believe them; |
|
Put them aside, put them aside. |
|
Do not readily assent to them; |
|
And, when men tell their stories, |
|
How will they find course? |
|
Would you gather the sowthistle, would you gather the sowthistle, |
|
At the foot of Shouyang? |
|
When men tell their stories, |
|
Do not readily approve them; |
|
Put them aside, put them aside. |
|
Do not readily assent to them; |
|
And, when men tell their stories, |
|
How will they find course? |
|
Would you gather the mustard plant, would you gather the mustard plant, |
|
On the east of Shouyang? |
|
When men tell their stories, |
|
Do not readily listen to them; -- |
|
Put them aside, put them aside. |
|
Do not readily assent to them; |
|
And, when men tell their stories, |
|
How will they find course? |
