A CHINESE Panegyric
From an ancient Ode[19]

O the profound and rare virtue of the King
VEN-VANG[20]

When VEN-VANG acted the King, he perfected himself in universal love:
When VEN-VANG acted the subject,

When VEN-VANG acted the son, he perfected himself in dutiful obedience:
When VEN-VANG acted the father, he perfected himself in paternal affection.
When VEN-VANG had dealings with men in general, he perfected himself in unshaken integrity.
