Yu replied,
'My virtue is not equal (to the position),
and the people will not repose in me.
皋陶 (But there is) Gao-Yao with vigorous activity sowing abroad his virtue,
which has descended on the black-haired people, till they cherish him in their hearts.
O Di, think of him!
When I think of him, (my mind) rests on him (as the man fit for this place);
when I would put him out of my thoughts, (my mind still) rests on him;
when I name and speak of him, (my mind) rests on him (for this);
the sincere outgoing of my thoughts about him is that he is the man.
。」O Di, think of his merits.'
