于以采苹,南㵎之滨。
于以采藻,于彼行潦。
HERE we are gathering duckweed By the banks of the southern dale. Here we are gathering water-grass In those channelled pools.
于以盛之,维筐及筥。
于以湘之,维锜及釜。
Here we are packing them Into round basket, into square. Here we are boiling them In kettles and pans.
于以奠之,宗室牖下。
谁其尸之,有齐季女。
Here we lay them beneath the window Of the ancestral hall. Who is the mistress of them all? A young girl purified.
