" when a son is born,
He is cradled in the bed,
He is clothed in robes,
Given a jade sceptre as a toy.
His lusty cries portend his vigor,
He shall wear bright, red knee caps,
Shall be the lord of a hereditary house.
When a daughter is born,
She is cradled on the floor,
She is clothed in swaddling bands,
Given a loom whorf as toy,
She shall wear no badges of honor,
Shall only take care of food and drink,
And not cause trouble to her parents"
