     总角之宴、言笑晏晏。信誓旦旦、不思其反。 [Classical Chinese, simp.]

     From: The Classic of Poetry, circa 11^th – 7^th centuries BCE, translated based on James Legge's version

     Zǒngjiǎo zhī yàn, yánxiào yànyàn. Xìnshì dàndàn, bù sī qí fǎn. [Pinyin]

     In the pleasant time of my girlhood, with my hair simply gathered in a knot,
     Harmoniously we talked and laughed.
     Clearly were we sworn to good faith,
     And I did not think the engagement would be broken.
