新台有泚，河水弥弥。
燕婉之求，籧篨不鲜。
How bright is the new tower / On brimming river deep! Of youth she seeks the flower, / Not loathsome toad to keep.
新台有洒，河水浼浼。
燕婉之求，籧篨不殄。
How high is the new tower / On tearful river deep! Of youth she seeks the flower, / No stinking toad to keep.
鱼网之设，鸿则离之。
燕婉之求，得此戚施。
A net for fish is set; / A toad is caught instead. The flower of youth she'll get, / Not a hunchback to wed.
