野有死麇

　　野有死麇、白茅包之。

　　有女懷春、吉士誘之。

　　林有樸樕、野有死鹿。

　　白茅純束、有女如玉。

　　舒而脫脫兮、無感我帨兮、無使尨也吠。

　　ye you si jun

　　in the wild there is a dead antelope ,

　　and it is wrapped up with the white grass .

　　there is a young lady with thoughts natural to the spring ,

　　and a fine gentleman would lead her astray .

　　in the forest there are the scrubby oaks ;

　　in the wild there is a dead deer ,

　　and it is bound round with the white grass .

　　there is a young lady like a gem .

　　[she says] , slowly ; gently , gently ;

　　do not move my handkerchief ;

　　do not make my dog bark .
