《瓠叶 - Hu Ye》

 English translation: James Legge [?] Library Resources
1 瓠叶:
幡幡瓠叶、采之亨之。
君子有酒、酌言尝之。
Hu Ye:
Of the gourd leaves, waving about,
Some are taken and boiled;
[Then] the superior man, from his spirits,
Pours out a cup, and tastes it.

2 瓠叶:
有兔斯首、炮之燔之。
君子有酒、酌言献之。
Hu Ye:
There is but a single rabbit,
Baked, or roasted.
[But] the superior man, from his spirits,
Fills the cup and presents it [to his guests].

3 瓠叶:
有兔斯首、燔之炙之。
君子有酒、酌言酢之。
Hu Ye:
There is but a single rabbit,
Roasted, or broiled.
[But] from the spirits of the superior man,
[His guests] fill the cup, and present it to him.

4 瓠叶:
有兔斯首、燔之炮之。
君子有酒、酌言醻之。
Hu Ye:
There is but a single rabbit,
Roasted, or baked.
[But] from the spirits of the superior man,
[His guests and he] fill the cup and pledge one another.
