6th Line★
stretch, tense, string, draw (ing)
睽孤，見豕負塗，載鬼一車。先張之弧，後説之弧。匪寇，婚媾。往遇雨，則吉。
Estranged and alone
Watching a hog, covered with muck
Once a wagon transporting demons
At first stringing that bow
But later unstringing the bow
It is not an adversary but a marital suitor
In going, greet the rain
After this, all is well
