Yea , he is very famous .
What he sought was the repose [of the people] ;
What he saw was the completion [of his work] .
A sovereign true was king Wen !

Having overthrown Chong ,
He fixed his [capital] city in Feng .
A sovereign true was king Wen !
He repaired the walls along the [old] moat :
His establishing himself in Feng was according to [the pattern of his forefathers] ,
It was not that he was in haste to gratify his wishes ;—
It was to show the filial duty which had come down to him .
A sovereign true was [our] royal prince !

A sovereign true was [our] royal prince !
His royal merit was brightly displayed ,
By those walls of Feng .
There were collected [the sympathies of the people of] the four quarters ,
Who regarded the royal prince as their protector .

The Feng-water flowed on to the east [of the city] ,
Through the meritorious labour of Yu .

A sovereign true was the great king !
In the capital of Hao he built his hall with its circlet of water ;
From the west to the east ,
From the south to the north ,
There was not a thought but did him homage .

A sovereign true was the great king !
He examined and divined , did the king ,
About settling in the capital of Hao .
The tortoise-shell decided the site ,
And king Wu completed the city .

A sovereign true was king Wu !
By the Feng-water grows the white millet ;—
Did not king Wu show wisdom in his employment of officers ?
He would leave his plans to his descendants ,
And secure comfort and support to his son .
