梧桐相待老，鴛鴦會雙死。
貞婦貴殉夫，捨生亦如此。
波瀾誓不起，妾心井中水。
A Woman of Resolute Chastity Meng Jiao(751-814)
Phoenixes on the parlowma stick to their partners till they both die old,
Mandarin ducks by the river die with their mates as a couple,
A woman of chastity would follow her husband to the netherworld,
They all insist to give up their life on chastity’s call,
As dead as the water of an ancient well,
Her heart is no longer affectable.
