维鹊有巢，维鸠居之。
之子于归，百两御之。
The magpie builds a nest, Where comes the dove in spring. / The bride comes fully-drest,
维鹊有巢，维鸠方之。
之子于归，百两将之。
Welcomed by cabs in string. / Where dwells the dove in spring. The bride comes fully-drest, / Escort'd by cabs in string.
维鹊有巢，维鸠盈之。
之子于归，百两成之。
The magpie builds a nest, / Where lives the dove in spring. The bride comes fully-drest, / Celebrated by cabs in string.
