OATH OF FRIENDSHIP (1) by ANONYMOUS

First Line: IF YOU WERE RIDING IN A COACH
Last Line: I WOULD GET DOWN FOR YOU
Subject(s): CHINA - EARLY PERIOD (TO 200 B.C.);FRIENDSHIP;
IF you were riding in a coach
And I were wearing a "li,"
And one day we met in the road,
You would get down and bow.
If you were carrying a "teng,"
And I were riding on a horse,
And one day we met in the road
I would get down for you.
