新臺

新臺有沘。
河水彌彌。
燕婉之求。
籧篨不鮮。
新臺有洒。
河水浼浼。
燕婉之求。
籧篨不殄。
魚網之設。
鴻則離之。
燕婉之求。
得此戚施。

XIN TAI

Fresh and bright is the New Tower,
On the waters of the He, wide and deep.
A pleasant, genial mate she sought,
[And has got this] vicious bloated mass!
Lofty is the New Tower,
On the waters of the He, flowing still.
A pleasant, genial mate she sought,
[And has got this] vicious bloated mass!
It was a fish net that was set,
And a goose has fallen into it.
A pleasant, genial mate she sought,
And she has got this hunchback.
