率土之滨，莫非王臣。
大夫不均，我从事独贤。
Some enjoy rest and ease; Others worn out for the state.
四牡彭彭，王事傍傍。
嘉我未老，鲜我方将。
Some march on without ease; Others lie in bed early and late. / Some know not people's pain; Others toil for state affairs. Some long in bed remain;
或息偃在床，或不已于行。
或不知叫号，或惨惨劬劳。
Others laden with great cares. Some drink all the day long;
或栖迟偃仰，或王事鞅掌。
或湛乐饮酒，或惨惨畏咎。
或出入风议，或靡事不为。
Others worry for woe. Some only say all's wrong; To hard work others go.
