《采苹 - Cai Ping》

 English translation: James Legge [?] Library Resources
1 采苹:
于以采苹、南㵎之滨。
于以采藻、于彼行潦。
Cai Ping:
She gathers the large duckweed,
By the banks of the stream in the southern valley.
She gathers the pondweed,
In those pools left by the floods.

2 采苹:
于以盛之、维筐及筥。
于以湘之、维锜及釜。
Cai Ping:
She deposits what she gathers,
In her square baskets and round ones
She boils it,
In her tripods and pans.

3 采苹:
于以奠之、宗室牖下。
谁其尸之、有齐季女。
Cai Ping:
She sets forth her preparations,
Under the window in the ancestral chamber.
Who superintends the business?
It is [this] reverent young lady.
