��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]
