| QUOTATION: | Heres a pot with a cot in a park In a park where the peach-blossoms blew, Where the lovers eloped in the dark, Lived, died and were changed into two Bright birds that eternally flew Through the boughs of the may, as they sang; T is a tale was undoubtedly true In the reign of the Emperor Hwang. |
