The Book of Poetry, tr. by James Legge, [1876]
Abroad his virtue we will spread;
Him in our hearts we'll shrine;
Our aim that peace establishèd
May last while lasts our line.
Through him it was there came to Chou
Heaven's favor and decree.
Him in our breasts we cherish now;
Our pattern shall he be.
