English translation: James Legge [?]
Books referencing 《閟宫》 Library Resources
5 閟宫:
公车千乘、朱英绿縢、二矛重弓。
公徒三万、贝胄朱綅。
烝徒增增、戎狄是膺。
荆舒是惩、
则莫我敢承。
俾尔昌而炽、俾尔寿而富、黄发台背、寿胥与试。
俾尔昌而大、俾尔耆而艾、万有千岁、眉寿无有害。
Bi Gong:
Our prince's chariots are a thousand,
[And in each] are the vermilion tassels and the green bands of the two spears and two bows.
His footmen are thirty thousand,
With shells on vermillion-strings adorning their helmets.
So numerous are his ardent followers,
To deal with the tribes of the west and north,
And to punish [those of] Jing and Shu,
So that none of them will dare to withstand us.
May [the Spirits] make you grandly prosperous!
May they make you long-lived and wealthy!
May the hoary hair and wrinkled back,
Marking the aged men, be always in your employment!
May they make you prosperous and great!
May they grant you old age, ever vigorous,
For myriads and thousands of years,
With the eyebrows of longevity, and ever unharmed!
