English translation: James Legge [?]
Books referencing 《雄雉》 Library Resources
1 雄雉:
雄雉于飞、泄泄其羽。
我之怀矣、自诒伊阻。
Xiong Zhi:
The male pheasant flies away,
Lazily moving his wings.
The man of my heart! -
He has brought on us this separation.

2 雄雉:
雄雉于飞、下上其音。
展矣君子、实劳我心。
Xiong Zhi:
The pheasant has flown away,
But from below, from above, comes his voice.
Ah! the princely man! -
He afflicts my heart.

3 雄雉:
瞻彼日月、悠悠我思。
道之云远、曷云能来。
Xiong Zhi:
Look at that sun and moon!
Long, long do I think.
The way is distant;
How can he come to me?

4 雄雉:
百尔君子、不知德行。
不忮不求、何用不臧。
Xiong Zhi:
All ye princely men,
Know ye not his virtuous conduct?
He hates none; he covets nothing; -
What does he which is not good?
