When they went in for the dance,
the ruler, holding his shield and axe, went to the place for the performance.
He took his station at the head of those on the east,
and in his square-topped cap,, carrying his shield,
he led on all his officers,
to give pleasure to the august personator of the dead.
天子Hence the son of Heaven in his sacrifices
天下 (gave expression to) the joy of all in the kingdom.
諸侯(In the same way) the feudal princes at their sacrifices
(gave expression to) the joy of all within their territories.
In their square-topped caps, and carrying their shields,
they led on all their officers,
to give joy to the august personators
- with the idea of showing the joy of all within their territories.
