I love you but don’t try to see me again. My parents have told me to forget you and they’ll hear you if you climb the willow to reach my window. Don’t come. If you climb the wall, you’ll trample the garden and my brothers will notice. If they tell the neighbors, I’ll never find a suitable husband.
将仲子兮,无逾我里,无折我树杞。 岂敢爱之,畏我父母。 仲可怀也,父母之言,亦可畏也。 将仲子兮,无逾我墙,无折我树桑。 岂敢爱之,畏我诸兄。 仲可怀也,诸兄之言,亦可畏也。 将仲子兮,无逾我园,无折我树檀。 岂敢爱之,畏人之多言。 仲可怀也,人之多言,亦可畏也。
