I think

that of Giles' and not my own notes. (?? etc ??) means I am not sure if my copy is correct.蛌婥氪佽堤揭http://www.openface.ca/~dstephen/trimetic.htm人之初　性本善　性相近　习相远 眳场ㄛ俶挂囡﹝俶眈轮ㄛ炾眈堈Men at their birth

are naturally good. Their natures are much the same; their habits become widely different.苟不教　性乃迁　教之道　贵以专僎祥谅ㄛ俶腾﹝谅眳耋ㄛ幛眕蚳If follishly there is no teaching

the nature will deteriorate. The right way in teaching

it cannot become a thing of use. If a man does not learn

he cannot know his duty towards his neighbour.蛌婥氪蛁陇堤揭http://www.openface.ca/~dstephen/trimetic.htmThis is the Herbert Giles 1910 version蛌婥氪蛁陇 堤揭 为人子　方少时　亲师友　习礼仪峈赽ㄛ源屾奀﹝呇衭ㄛ炾狞痀He who is the son of a man
