王命南仲，往城于方。
出车彭彭，旗旐央央。
天子命我，城彼朔方。
赫赫南仲，𤞤狁于襄。
昔我往矣，黍稷方华。
今我来思，雨雪载涂。
王事多难，不遑启居。
岂不怀归，畏此简书。
With falcons brown, Turtles and snakes They fly in flurry. / O my heart aches And my men worry. Ordered am I To build north wall. / Cars seem to fly; Flags rise and fall. I’m going forth,
喓喓草虫，趯趯阜螽。
未见君子，忧心忡忡。
既见君子，我心则降。
赫赫南仲，薄伐西戎。
春日迟迟，卉木萋萋。
仓庚喈喈，采蘩祁祁。
执讯获丑，薄言还归。
赫赫南仲，𤞤狁于夷。
And beat the Huns. / At royal orders. He's beat the foe. Long, long this spring, Green, green the grasses. / Hear orioles sing: See busy lasses! With captive crowd, Still battle-drest, / My lord looks proud: He's quelled the west.
