行露 诗经

厌浥行露，岂不夙夜？谓行多露。 谁谓雀无角？何以穿我屋？ 谁谓女无家？何以速我狱？ 虽速我狱，室家不足。 谁谓鼠无牙？何以穿我墉？ 谁谓女无家？何以速我讼？ 虽速我讼，亦不女从。

Dew on the road (literal translation)

Weary from the dew, I toil day and night, for the dew is ever-present. Who says the sparrow has no horns? How then does it burrow into my roof? Who says you have no home? How then does it hasten my imprisonment? Though imprisoned, my home is still incomplete. Who says the rat has no teeth? How then does it burrow into my wall? Who says you have no home? How then does it hasten my lawsuit? Though I have been hastened to court, I will not yield to it.
