詩 經 Shi Jing – Le Canon des Poèmes

裳裳者華
裳裳者華、其葉湑兮。
我覯之子、我心寫兮。
我心寫兮、是以有譽處兮。

裳裳者華、芸其黃矣。
我覯之子、維其有章矣。
維其有章矣、是以有慶矣。

裳裳者華、或黃或白。
我覯之子、乘其四駱。
乘其四駱、六轡沃若。

左之左之、君子宜之。
右之右之、君子有之。
維其有之、是以似之。

原文 214

Splendid are the flowers,
And the leaves are luxuriant.
I see these princes,
And my heart is entirely satisfied.
My heart is entirely satisfied.
Right is it they should have praise and prosperity !

Splendid are the flowers,
And deep is their yellow.
I see these princes,
Full of all elegance.
They are full of all elegance ; –
Right is it they should have every blessing !

Splendid are the flowers,
Some yellow, some white.
I see these princes,
Drawn by their four white steeds, black-maned.
They are drawn by their four white steeds, black-maned.
And the six reins are glossy !

To the left [they move], to the left,
And they execute the movement properly.
To the right [they move], to the right,
And they execute the movement properly.
They are possessed of the ability,
And right is it their movements should indicate it.
