蓼彼蕭斯、零露湑兮。 既見君子、我心寫兮。 燕笑語兮、是以有譽處兮。 |

How long grows the southernwood, With the dew lying on it so bright! Now that I see my noble men, My heart is entirely satisfied. As we feast, we laugh and talk; - It is right they should have fame and prosperity! | |

How long grows the southernwood, With the dew lying on it so abundantly! Now that I see my noble men, I appreciate their favour and their brightness. Their virtue is without taint of error; - May they live long, and not be forgotten! | |

How high is the southernwood, All wet with the fallen dew! Now that I see my noble men, Grandly we feast, delighted and complacent. May their relations with their brothers be right! May they be happy in their excellent virtue to old age! | |

How high is the southernwood, With the dew lying on it so richly! I have seen my noble men, With the ends of their reins hanging down, With the bells tinkling on their cross-boards and bits. May all happiness gather upon them. |
