《羔裘 - Gao Qiu》

 English translation: James Legge [?] Library Resources
1 羔裘:
羔裘逍遥、狐裘以朝。
岂不尔思、劳心忉忉。
Gao Qiu:
In your lamb's fur you saunter about;
In your fox's fur you hold your court.
How should I not think anxiously about you?
My toiled heart is full of grief.

2 羔裘:
羔裘翱翔、狐裘在堂。
岂不尔思、我心忧伤。
Gao Qiu:
In your lamb's fur you wander aimlessly about;
In your fox's fur you appear in your hall.
How should I not think anxiously about you?
My heart is wounded with sorrow.

3 羔裘:
羔裘如膏、日出有曜。
岂不尔思、中心是悼。
Gao Qiu:
Your lamb's fur, as if covered with ointment;
Glistens when the sun comes forth.
How should I not think anxiously about you?
To the core of my heart I am grieved.

《素冠 - Su Guan》

 English translation: James Legge [?] Library Resources
1 素冠:
庶见素冠兮、棘人栾栾兮、劳心慱慱兮。
Su Guan:
If I could but see the white cap,
And the earnest mourner worn to leanness! -
My toiled heart is worn with grief!

2 素冠:
庶见素衣兮、我心伤悲兮、聊与子同归兮。
Su Guan:
If I could but see the white [lower] dress! -
My heart is wounded with sadness!
I should be inclined to go and live with the wearer!

3 素冠:
庶见素韠兮、我心蕴结兮、聊与子如一兮。
Su Guan:
If I could but see the white knee-covers! -
Sorrow is knotted in my heart!
I should almost feel as of one soul with the wearer!

1 隰有苌楚:
隰有苌楚、猗傩其枝。
夭之沃沃、乐子之无知。
Xi You Chang Chu:
In the low wet grouds is the carambola tree;
Soft and pliant are its branches,
With the glossiness of tender beauty.
I should rejoice to be like you, [O tree], without consciousness.

2 隰有苌楚:
隰有苌楚、猗傩其华。
夭之沃沃、乐子之无家。
Xi You Chang Chu:
In the low, damp grounds is the carambola tree;
Soft and delicate are its flowers,
With the glossiness of its tender beauty.
I should rejoice to be like you, [O tree], without a family.

3 隰有苌楚:
隰有苌楚、猗傩其实。
夭之沃沃、乐子之无室。
Xi You Chang Chu:
In the low, damp grounds is the carambola tree;
Soft and delicate is its fruit,
With the glossiness of its tender beauty.
I should rejoice to be like you, [O tree], without a household.

 English translation: James Legge [?]
Books referencing 《匪风》 Library Resources
1 匪风:
匪风发兮、匪车偈兮、顾瞻周道、中心怛兮。
Fei Feng:
Not for the violence of the wind;
Not for a rushing motion of a chariot; -
But when I look to the road to Zhou,
Am I pained to the core of my heart.

2 匪风:
匪风飘兮、匪车嘌兮。
顾瞻周道、中心吊兮。
Fei Feng:
Not for the whirlwind;
Not for the irregular motion of a chariot; -
But when I look to the road to Zhou,
Am I sad to the core of my heart.

3 匪风:
谁能亨鱼、溉之釜鬵。
谁将西归、怀之好音。
Fei Feng:
Who can cook fish?
I will wash his boilers for him.
Who will loyally go to the west?
I will cheer him with good words.
