小毖
|
予其懲 。 |
|
而毖後患。 |
|
莫予荓蜂。 |
|
自求辛螫。 |
|
肇允彼桃蟲。 |
|
拚飛維鳥。 |
|
未堪家多難。 |
|
予又集于蓼。 |

|
XIAO BI
|
I condemn myself [for the past], and will be on my guard against future calamity. |
|
I will have nothing to do with a wasp, |
|
To seek for myself its painful sting. |
|
At first, indeed, the thing seemed but a wren, |
|
But it took wing and became a [large] bird. |
|
I am unequal to the many difficulties of the kingdom; |
|
And I am placed in the midst of bitter experiences. |
