O accomplished Hou-ji, | |
Thou didst prove thyself the correlate of Heaven; | |
Thou didst give grain-food to our multitudes; -- | |
The immense gift of thy goodness. | |
Thou didst confer on us the wheat and the barley, | |
Which God appointed for the nourishment of all; | |
And without distinction of territory or boundary, | |
The rules of social duty were diffused throughout these great regions. |
