Yilin Verse

堯舜禹湯,四聖敦仁。允施德音,民安無窮。旅人相望,未同朝卿。

Yao, Shun, Yu, and Tang — four sages devoted to benevolence. Truly bestowing virtuous words; the people are secure without end. Travelers gaze at one another; they have not yet shared court and counsel.

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