瞻彼淇奥,绿竹青青。
有匪君子,充耳琇莹,会弁如星。
瑟兮僩兮,赫兮咺兮。
有匪君子,终不可谖兮。
Oh, the lustre, oh, the light! Delicately fashioned is my lord; Never for a moment can I forget him. Look at that little bay of the Ch'i, Its kitesfoot so fresh. Delicately fashioned is my lord,
瞻彼淇奥,绿竹如箦。
有匪君子,如金如锡,如圭如璧。
宽兮绰兮,猗重较兮。
善戏谑兮,不为虐兮。
His ear-plugs are of precious stones, His cap-gems stand out like stars. Oh, the grace, the elegance! Oh, the lustre, the light! Delicately fashioned is my lord; Never for a moment can I forget him.
