大侯既抗、弓矢斯張。
射夫既同、獻爾發功。
發彼有的、以祈爾爵。
籥舞笙鼓、樂既和奏。
烝衎烈祖、以洽百禮。
百禮既至、有壬有林。
錫爾純嘏、子孫其湛。
其湛曰樂、各奏爾能。
賓載手仇、室人入又。

詩經 Book of Odes - 青蠅 QING YING
營營青蠅、止于樊。
豈弟君子、無信讒言。
營營青蠅、止于棘。
讒人罔機、交亂四國。
營營青蠅、止于榛。
讒人罔機、構我二人。
They buzz about , the blue flies ,
Lighting on the fences .
O happy and courteous sovereign ,
Do not believe slanderous speeches .
... 依彼平林、有集維鷮。 雖無旨酒、式飲庶幾。 陟彼高岡、析其柞薪。 高山仰止、景行行止。

車舝 CHE
XIA
間關車之舝兮、思孌季女逝兮。
匪飢匪渴、德音來括。
雖無好友、式燕且喜。
辰彼碩女、令德來教。
式燕且譽、好爾無射。
雖無嘉殽、式食庶幾。
雖無德與女、式歌且舞。
析其柞薪、其葉湑兮。
鮮我覯爾、我心寫兮。
四牡騑騑、六轡如琴。
覯爾新昏、以慰我心。
