Abundant is the growth of the yu and the pu ,
Supplying firewood ; yea , stores of it .
Elegant and dignified was our prince and king ;
On the right and the left they hastened to him .
Elegant and dignified was our prince and king ;
On his left and his right they bore their half-mace [libation-cups] ;—
They bore their instruments with solemn gravity ,
As beseemed such eminent officers .
They rush along , —those boats on the King .
All the rowers labouring at their oars .
The king of Zhou marched on ,
Followed by his six hosts .
Vast is that Milky Way ,
Making a brilliant figure in the sky .
Long years did the king of Zhou enjoy ;—
Did he not exert an influence upon men ?
Engraved and chiselled are the ornaments ;
Of metal and of jade is their substance .
Ever active was our king ,
Giving law and rules to the four quarters [of the kingdom] .
