��102, THE BALLADS OF THE FOUR SEASONS
SUMMER
On the Mirror Lake three hundred li around
Gaily the lotus lilies bloom.
She gathers them — Queen Hsi-shih, in Maytime!
A multitude jostles on the bank, watching.
Her boat turns back without waiting the moonrise,
And glides away to the house of the amorous Yueh king.
��Queen Hsi-shih, See Note under No, J^S, [148]
