| 1 | 思文: |
思文后稷、克配彼天、立我烝民、莫匪爾極。 貽我來牟、帝命率育。 無此疆爾界、陳常于時夏。 |
| Si Wen: |
O accomplished Hou-ji, Thou didst prove thyself the correlate of Heaven; Thou didst give grain-food to our multitudes; - The immense gift of thy goodness. Thou didst confer on us the wheat and the barley, Which God appointed for the nourishment of all; And without distinction of territory or boundary, The rules of social duty were diffused throughout these great regions. |
