Changing Lines
Line Six
Your caldron is fitted
with jade handles.
Great success
in whatever you do.
Line Five
The caldron you cook in
has yellow handles
and golden carrying rings.
Good fortune
if you keep to this course.
Line Four
A leg of the caldron buckles,
spilling the hot meal
on the very person
you wish to serve.
Trust evaporates,
and the void is filled
with shame and scorn.
Line Three
You cooked a perfect meal
in a caldron
you can't lift from the fire.
The feast is wasted.
Once the storm of resentment
has washed over you,
good fortune will come again.
Line Two
Your caldron contains
a hearty meal
with plenty to go around.
Your rivals are jealous
of your ability to provide,
but they can't harm you.
Good fortune.
Line One
Tip over the caldron
and get rid of
its stagnant contents
once and for all.
He marries a woman
to give her children
a home.
Blameless.
