Poems of Hồ Xuân Hương : 菓 - Jackfruit
| 菓 | Jackfruit | 身㛪如菓𨕭𣘃 䏧奴芻仕脢奴𠫅 君子固腰辰㨂𱣳 吀停緍𢱖澦𫥨𢬣 | My body is like the jackfruit on the branch: my skin is coarse, my meat is thick. Kind sir, if you love me, pierce me with your stick. Caress me and sap will slicken your hands. |
| Quả mít | Thân em như quả mít trên cây Da nó xù xì, múi nó dầy. Quân tử có yêu thì đóng cọc, Xin đừng mân mó, nhựa ra tay. |

| The large, smelly jackfruit can be prematurely ripened by piercing it. | |
