羔裘

羔裘如濡。
洵直且侯。
彼其之子。
舍命不渝。
羔裘豹飾。
孔武有力。
彼其之子。
邦之司直。
羔裘晏兮。
三英粲兮。
彼其之子。
邦之彥兮。

GAO QIU

His lambs's fur is glossy,
Truly smooth and beautiful.
That officer,
Rests in his lot and will not change.
His lambs's fur, with its cuffs of leopard-skin.
Looks grandly martial and strong.
That officer,
In the country will ever hold to the right.
How splendid is his lamb's fur!
How bright are its three ornaments!
That officer,
Is the ornament of the country.
