鴛鴦

鴛鴦于飛。
畢之羅之。
君子萬年。
福祿宜之。
鴛鴦在梁。
戢其左翼。
君子萬年。
宜其遐福。
乘馬在廄。
摧之秣之。
君子萬年。
福祿艾之。
乘馬在廄。
秣之摧之。
君子萬年。
福祿綏之。

The Yellow ducks fly about,
And are taken with hand-nets and spread-nets.
May our sovereign live for ten thousand years,
Enjoying the happiness and wealth which are his due!
The Yellow ducks are on the dam,
With their left wings gathered up.
May our sovereign live for ten thousand years,
Enjoying the happiness and wealth which are his due!
The teams of steeds are in the stable,
Fed with forage and grain.
May our sovereign live for ten thousand years,
Sustained in his happiness and wealth!
The teams of steeds are in the stable,
Fed with grain and forage.
May our sovereign live for ten thousand years,
In the comfort of his happiness and wealth!
