秦地羅敷女，
The lovely Lo Fo① of the western land
采桑綠水邊。
Plucks mulberry leaves by the waterside.
素手青條上，
Across the green boughs stretches out her white hand;
紅妝白日鮮。
In golden sunshine her rosy robe is dyed.
蠶饑妾欲去，
"My silkworms are hungry, I cannot stay.
五馬莫留連！
Tarry not with your five-horse cab, I pray."
