Chapter 10, Part 11 - Confucius
When he was sending complimentary inquiries to any one in another state, he bowed twice as he escorted the messenger away.
Chi K'ang having sent him a present of physic, he bowed and received it, saying, "I do not know it. I dare not taste it." ~ James Legge translation via The Internet Classics Archive ~
