The fishes are there , there among the pondweed ,
Showing their large heads .
The king is here , here in Hao ,
At ease and happy , while he drinks .
The fishes are there , there among the pondweed ,
Showing their long tails .
The king is here , here in Hao ,
Drinking , happy and at ease .
The fishes are there , there among the pondweed ,
Sheltered by the rushes .
The king is here , here in Hao ,
Dwelling in tranquillity .
