Yilin Verse

白鵠衘珠,夜食為明。膏潤渥優,國歲年豐。中子來同,見惡不凶。

The white swan holds a pearl in its beak; by night it feeds and gives off light. Its rich moisture is bountiful and fine; the year's harvest is plentiful. The middle son arrives in harmony; seeing ill, he meets no misfortune.

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