Alas for me, who am [as] a little child, | |
On whom has devolved the unsettled State! | |
Solitary am I and full of distress. | |
Oh! my great Father, | |
All thy life long, thou wast filial. | |
Thou didst think of my great grandfather, | |
[Seeing him, as it were,] ascending and descending in the court. | |
I, the little child, | |
Day and night will be so reverent. | |
Oh! ye great kings, | |
As your successor, I will strive not to forget you. |
