古詩：小毖 中英對照

I condemn myself [for the past] ， and will be on my guard against future calamit y .
    I will have nothing to do with a wasp ，
    To seek for myself its painful sting .
    At first ， indeed ， the thing seemed but a wren ，
    But it took wing and became a [large] bird .
    I am unequal to the many difficulties of the kingdom ；
    And I am placed in the midst of bitter experiences .
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    予其懲 .
    而毖后患。
    莫予荓蜂。
    自求辛螫。
    肇允彼桃蟲。
    拚飛維鳥。
    未堪家多難。
    予又集于蓼。
