Our chariots were strong ,
Our horses were well matched ,
And with four steeds [for each] , sleek and large ,
We yoked and proceeded to the east .
Our horses were well matched ,
And with four steeds [for each] , sleek and large ,
We yoked and proceeded to the east .
Our hunting carriages were good ,
And their four steeds in fine condition .
Eastwards were the grassy plains of Fu ; —
We yoked and went there to hunt .
And their four steeds in fine condition .
Eastwards were the grassy plains of Fu ; —
We yoked and went there to hunt .
Of the officers in charge of the hunt ,
The voices resounded as they told off the men .
They set up the banners , with ox-tails displayed ,
And we proceeded to pursue the chase in Ao .
The voices resounded as they told off the men .
They set up the banners , with ox-tails displayed ,
And we proceeded to pursue the chase in Ao .
With their four-horsed chariots [they came] ,
Forming a long train ,
In their red knee-covers and gold-adorned slippers ,
Like the crowd of an occasional or a general audience .
Forming a long train ,
In their red knee-covers and gold-adorned slippers ,
Like the crowd of an occasional or a general audience .
The bowstring thimbles and armlets were fitted on ;
The bows and arrows were adjusted to one another ;
The archers acted in unison ,
Helping us to rear a pile of game .
The bows and arrows were adjusted to one another ;
The archers acted in unison ,
Helping us to rear a pile of game .
Of the four yellow horses of each chariot ,
The two outsiders inclined not to either side .
No error in driving was committed ,
And the arrows went forth like downright blows .
The two outsiders inclined not to either side .
No error in driving was committed ,
And the arrows went forth like downright blows .
As if at their ease , the horses neighed ,
Long and slow moved the line of pennons and banners ;
The footmen and charioteers created no alarms ;
The great kitchen did not claim its full complement .
Long and slow moved the line of pennons and banners ;
The footmen and charioteers created no alarms ;
The great kitchen did not claim its full complement .
So did the officers conduct this expedition ,
Without any clamour in the noise of it .
Truly a princely man is [the king] ;
Great indeed are his achievements !
