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. |
