Look at the foot of the Han ,
How abundantly grow the hazel and the arrow-thorn !
Easy and self-possessed was our prince ,
In his pursuit of dignity [still] easy and self-possessed !
Massive is that libation-cup of jade ,
With the yellow liquid [sparkling] in it .
Easy and self-possessed was our prince ,
The fit recipient of blessing and dignity .
The hawk flies up to heaven ;
The fishes leap in the deep .
Easy and self-possessed was our-prince ;—
Did he not exert an influence upon men ?
His clear spirits are in vessel ;
His red bull is ready ;—
To offer , to sacrifice ,
To increase his bright happiness .
Thick grow the oaks and the yu ,
Which the people use for fuel .
Easy and self-possessed was our prince ,
Cheered and encouraged by the Spirits .
Luxuriant are the dolichos and other creepers ,
Clinging to the branches and stems ,
Easy and self-possessed was our prince ,
Seeking for happiness by no crooked ways .
