Plain text of Ode 9, Stanzas 1 and 3. The Ta Kiu

His great carriage rolls along, And his robes of rank glitter like the young sedge. Do I not think of you? But I am afraid of this officer, and dare not (fly to you).

While living we may have to occupy different apartments; But, when dead, we shall share the same grave. If you say that I am not sincere, As God is my witness, I am sincere.
