The line, with Legge
Line statement 爻辭
系于金柅，貞吉，有攸往，見凶，羸豕，孚，蹢躅。
The first line, divided, shows how its subject should be kept (like a carriage) tied and fastened to a metal drag, in which case with firm correctness there will be good fortune. (But) if he move in any direction, evil will appear. He will be (like) a lean pig, which is sure to keep jumping about. (Legge, 1882)
