O sun ; O moon ,
Which enlightens this lower earth !
Here is the man ,
Who treats me not according to the ancient rule .
How can he get his mind settled ?
Would he then not regard me ?
O sun ; O moon ,
Which overshadow this lower earth !
Here is this man ,
Who will not be friendly with me .
How can he get his mind settled ?
Would he then not respond to me ?
O sun ; O moon ,
Which come forth from the east !
Here is the man ,
With virtuous words , but really not good .
How can he get his mind settled ?
Would he then allow me to be forgotten ?
O sun ; o moon ,
From the east which come forth !
O father , O mother ,
There is no sequel to your nourishing of me .
How can he get his mind settled ?
Would he then respond to me , contrary to all reason ?
