The Book of Poetry, tr. by James Legge, [1876]
2These flowers their clusters large and gay,
As of the peach or plum display.
This grandchild of the peaceful king
Joy to the marquis’ son shall bring.
3As threads of silk together twine,
To form the angler's faithful line;
So may the union close abide
Of gallant prince and royal bride!
