九罭

九罭之魚。
鱒魴。
我覯之子。
袞衣繡裳。
鴻飛遵渚。
公歸無所。
於女信處。
鴻飛遵陸。
公歸不復。
於女信宿。
是以有袞衣兮。
無以我公歸兮。
無使我心悲兮。

JIU YU

In the net with its nine bags,
Are rud and bream.
We see this prince,
With his grand-ducal robe and embroidered skirt.
The wild geese fly [only] about the islets.
The duke is returning; -- is it not to his proper place?
He was stopping with you [and me] but for a couple of nights.
The wild geese fly about the land.
The duke is returning, and will not come back here?
He was lodging with you [and me] but for a couple of nights.
