The Generous Nephew

I escorted my uncle to Tsin,
  Till the Wei we crossed on the way.
  Then I gave as I left
  For his carriage a gift
  Four steeds, and each steed was a bay.

  I escorted my uncle to Tsin,
  And I thought of him much in my heart.
  Pendent stones, and with them
  Of fine jasper a gem,
  I gave, and then saw him depart.
