Yilin Verse

伯氏歸國，多所恨惑。車傾蓋亡，身常驚惶。乃得其願，雌雄相從。

Lord Bo returns to his country, beset by much resentment and doubt. The cart overturns, the canopy is lost; the body is ever startled and fearful. At last the wish is gained; female and male follow together.

— Jiao Yanshou (焦延壽), Yilin (焦氏易林), 1st century BCE
