窈窕淑女,寤寐求之。
求之不得,寤寐思服。
悠哉悠哉,辗转反侧。
Feast friends at left and right On cresses cooked tender!
参差荇菜,左右采之。
窈窕淑女,琴瑟友之。
参差荇菜,左右芼之。
窈窕淑女,钟鼓乐之。
Shy is this noble lady; With great zithem and little we hearten her. Tung Tso-pin on the antiquities of the T'an site. In patches grows the water mallow; To left and right one must choose it. Shy is this noble lady; With gongs and drums we will gladden her.
