Supplying firewood ; yea , stores of it .
Elegant and dignified was our prince and king ;
On the right and the left they hastened to him .

All the rowers labouring at their oars .
The king of Zhou marched on ,
Followed by his six hosts .

Giving law and rules to the four quarters [of the kingdom] .
