King Wen laboured earnestly ; –
Right is it we should have received [the kingdom].
We will diffuse [his virtue], ever cherishing the thought of him ;
Henceforth we will seek only the settlement [of the kingdom].
It was he through whom came the appointment of Zhou ;
Oh ! let us ever cherish the thought of him.
