辞之辑矣，民之洽矣。
辞之怿矣，民之莫矣 。
我虽异事，及尔同僚。
我即而谋，听我嚣嚣。
我言维服，勿以为笑。
先民有言，询于刍荛 。
O how can you not frown? It makes turmoil prevail; You talk to no avail. / If what you say is right, If what you say is not, It will soon be forgot. / Our duties different, We serve the government.
天之方虐，无然谑谑。
老夫灌灌，小子𫏋𫏋。
匪我言耄，尔用忧谑。
多将熇熇，不可救药 。
天之方懠，无为夸毗。
威仪卒迷，善人载尸。
I give you advice good; / Your attitude is rude. My advice is sought after; It's no matter for laughter. / Ancient saying is good: Heaven is doing wrong. How can you get along? I'm an old lord sincere. / How can you proud appear?
民之方殿屎，则莫我敢葵。
丧乱蔑资，曾莫惠我师 。
天之牖民，如埙如篪。
如璋如圭，如取如携。
携无日益，牖民孔易。
民之多辟，无自立辟 。
I'm not proud of my age. How can you tease a sage? / Trouble will grow like fire, Beyond remedy when higher. Heaven's anger displayed, / Don't cajole nor upbraid! The good and dignified Are mute as men who died.
价人维藩，大师维垣，大邦维屏，大宗维翰，怀德维宁，宗子维城。
The people groan and sigh, / But none dare to ask why.
