Yilin Verse

言无約結,不成契劵。殷叔季女,公孫爭之,強入委禽,不悅於心,乃適子南。

Words without binding agreement form no contract. The youngest daughter of Yin; the lords contend for her. Forcing entry with betrothal geese, she is not pleased at heart, and so weds the son of Nan.

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