The Book of Poetry, tr. by James Legge, [1876]
2With leopard cuffs, the lambkin's fur
Seems made for wearer strong in fight.
It well becomes that officer,
Whom none will see swerve from the right.
3Splendid his robe of lambkin's fur,
With its three decorations grand!
It well beseems that officer,
The pride and glory of our land.
