HENG MEN

Beneath my door made of cross pieces of wood,
I can rest at my leisure;
By the wimpling stream from my fountain,
I can joy amid my hunger.
Why, in eating fish;
Must we have bream from the He?
Why, in taking a wife,
Must we have a Jiang of Qi?
Why, in eating fish;
Must we have carp from the He?
Why, in taking a wife,
Must we have a Zi of Song?
