"山有樞，隰有榆。 子有衣裳，弗曳弗婁。 子有車馬，弗馳弗驅。 宛其死矣，他人是愉。"

There grows an elm-tree on the hill, And by the mere an alder-tree— You have a coat, but do not wear it, You have a gown, but do not trail it, You have a horse, but do not ride it, A coach, but do not drive it, So will it be till you are dead And others can enjoy them! — trans. Arthur Waley
