The T‘u Chüeh; allusive, or narrative. Praise of a rabbit catcher as fit to be a prince's mate.

1Careful he sets his rabbit nets all round;
Clang, clang his blows upon the pegs resound.
Stalwart the man and bold! his bearing all
Shows he might be his prince's shield and wall.

2Careful he is his rabbit nets to place,
Where many paths of rabbits’ feet bear trace.
Stalwart the man and bold! ‘tis plain to see
He to his prince companion good would be.

3Careful he is his rabbit nets to spread,
Where in the forest's depth the trees give shade.
Stalwart the man and bold! fit his the part
Guide to his prince to be, and faithful heart.
