詩經 Book of Odes - 卷阿 JUAN A
有卷者阿、飄風自南。
豈弟君子、來游來歌、以矢其音 。
伴奐爾游矣、優游爾休矣。
豈弟君子、俾爾彌爾性、似先公酋矣。
爾土宇昄章、亦孔之厚矣。
豈弟君子、俾爾彌爾性、百神爾主矣 。
爾受命長矣、茀祿爾康矣。
豈弟君子、俾爾彌爾性、純嘏爾常矣 。
有馮有翼、有孝有德、以引以翼。
豈弟君子、四方為則 。
顒顒卬卬、如圭如璋、令聞令望。
豈弟君子、四方為綱 。
鳳凰于飛、翽翽其羽、亦集爰止。
藹藹王多吉士、維君子使、媚於天子 。
鳳凰于飛、翽翽其羽、亦傅于天。
藹藹王多吉人、維君子命、媚于庶人 。
鳳凰鳴矣、于彼高岡。
梧桐生矣、于彼朝陽 。
菶菶萋萋、雝雝喈喈。
君子之車、既庶且多。
君子之馬、既閑且馳 。
矢詩不多、維以遂歌。
Into the recesses of the large mound ,
Came the wind whirling from the south .
There was [our] happy , courteous sovereign ,
Rambling and singing ;
And I took occasion to give forth my notes .
'Full of spirits you ramble ;
Full of satisfaction you rest .
O happy and courteous sovereign ,
May you fulfill your years ,
And end them like your ancestors !
'Your territory is great and glorious ,
And perfectly secure .
O happy and courteous sovereign ,
May you fulfill your years ,
As the host of all the Spirits !
'You have received the appointment long-ackowledged
,
With peace around your happiness and dignity .
O happy and courteous sovereign ,
May you fulfill your years ,
With pure happiness your constant possession !
'You have helpers and supporters ,
Men of filial piety and of virtue ,
To lead you on , and act as wings to you ,
[So that] , O happy and courteous sovereign ,
You are a pattern to the four quarters [of the kingdom] .
'Full of dignity and majesty [are they] ,
Like a jade-mace [in its purity] ,
The subject of praise , the contemplation of hope .
O happy and courteous sovereign ,
[Through them] the four quarters [of the kingdom] are guided by you .
'The male and female phoenix fly about ,
Their wings rustling ,
While they settle in their proper resting place .
Many are your admirable officers , O king ,
Ready to be employed by you ,
Loving you , the son of Heaven .
'The male and female phoenix fly about ,
Their wings rustling ,
As they soar up to heaven .
Many are your admirable officers , O king ,
Waiting for your commands ,
And loving the multitudes of the people .
'The male and female phoenix give out
their notes ,
On that lofty ridge .
The dryandras grow ,
They grow luxuriantly ;
And harmoniously the notes resound .
'Your carriages , O sovereign ,
Are many , many .
Your horses , O sovereign ,
Are well trained and fleet .
I have made my few verses ,
In prolongation of your song . '
