桑扈

交交桑扈，有鶯其羽。君子樂胥，受天之祜。 交交桑扈，有鶯其領。君子樂胥，萬邦之屏。 之屏之翰，百辟為憲。不戢不難，受福不那。 兕觥其觩，旨酒思柔。彼交匪敖，萬福來求。

The Seventh Decade, or that of Sang Hû. Ode 1, Stanza 1. The Sang Hû.

They flit about, the greenbeaks, With their variegated wings. To be rejoiced in are these princes! May they receive the blessing of Heaven!

鴛鴦

鴛鴦于飛，畢之羅之。君子萬年，福祿宜之。 鴛鴦在梁，戢其左翼。君子萬年，宜其遐福。 乘馬在廏，摧之秣之。君子萬年，福祿艾之。 乘馬在廏，秣之摧之。君子萬年，福祿綏之。

頍弁

有頍者弁，實維伊何？爾酒既旨，爾殽既嘉。 豈伊異人？兄弟匪他。蔦與女蘿，施于松柏。 未見君子，憂心弈弈；既見君子，庶幾說懌。 有頍者弁，實維何期？爾酒既旨，爾殽既時。 豈伊異人？兄弟具來。蔦與女蘿，施于松上。 未見君子，憂心怲怲；既見君子，庶幾有臧。 有頍者弁，實維在首？爾酒既旨，爾殽既阜。 豈伊異人？兄弟甥舅。如彼雨雪，先集維霰。 死喪無日，無幾相見，樂酒今夕，君子維宴。

車舝

間關車之舝兮，思孌季女逝兮。匪飢匪渴，德音來括。雖無好友，式燕且喜。 依彼平林，有集維鷮。辰彼碩女，令德來教。式燕且譽，好爾無射。 雖無旨酒，式飲庶幾。雖無嘉殽，式食庶幾。雖無德與女，式歌且舞。 陟彼高岡，析其柞薪。析其柞薪，其葉湑兮。鮮我覯爾，我心寫兮。 高山仰止，景行行止。四牡騑騑，六轡如琴。覯爾新昏，以慰我心。

青蠅

營營青蠅，止於樊。豈弟君子，無信讒言。 營營青蠅，止于棘。讒人罔極，交亂四國。 營營青蠅，止于榛。讒人罔極，構我二人。

賓之初筵

賓之初筵，左右秩秩，籩豆有楚，殽核維旅。 酒既和旨，飲酒孔偕，鐘鼓既設，舉醻逸逸。 大侯既抗，弓矢斯張，射夫既同，獻爾發功。 發彼有的，以祈爾爵。 籥舞笙鼓，樂既和奏，烝衎烈祖，以洽百禮。 百禮既至，有壬有林，錫爾純嘏，子孫其湛。 其湛曰樂，各奏爾能，賓載手仇，室人入又。 酌彼康爵，以奏爾時。 賓之初筵，溫溫其恭，其未醉止，威儀反反。 曰既醉止，威儀幡幡，舍其坐遷，屢舞僊僊。 其未醉止，威儀抑抑，曰既醉止，威儀怭怭。 是曰既醉，不知其秩。 賓既醉止，載號載呶，亂我籩豆，屢舞僛僛。 是曰既醉，不知其郵，側弁之俄，屢舞傞傞。 既醉而出，並受其福，醉而不出，是謂伐德。 飲酒孔嘉，維其令儀。 凡此飲酒，或醉或否，既立之監，或佐之史。 彼醉不臧，不醉反恥。式勿從謂，無俾大怠。 匪言勿言，匪由勿語，由醉之言，俾出童羖。 三爵不識，矧敢多又。

Ode 6, Stanzas 1 and 2. The Pin kih Khû Yen.

When the guests first approach the mats, They take their places on the left and the right in an orderly manner. The dishes of bamboo and wood are arranged in rows, With the sauces and kernels displayed in them. The spirits are mild and good, And they drink, all equally reverent. The bells and drums are properly arranged, And they raise their pledge-cups with order and ease. (Then) the great target is set up; The bows and arrows are made ready for the shooting. The archers are arranged in classes; 'Show your skill in shooting,' (it is said by one). 'I shall hit that mark' (is the response), 'And pray you to drink the cup.' The dancers move with their flutes to the notes of the organ and drum, While all the instruments perform in harmony. All this is done to please the meritorious ancestors, Along with the observance of all ceremonies. When all the ceremonies have been fully performed, Grandly and fully, (The personators of the dead say), 'We confer on you great blessings, And may your descendants also be happy!' These are happy and delighted, And each of them exerts his ability. A guest draws the spirits; An attendant enters again with a cup, And fills it,—the cup of rest. Thus are performed your seasonal ceremonies.

魚藻

魚在在藻，有頒其首。王在在鎬，豈樂飲酒。 魚在在藻，有莘其尾。王在在鎬，飲酒樂豈。 魚在在藻，依于其蒲。王在在鎬，有那其居。

采菽

采菽采菽，筐之筥之。君子來朝，何錫予之？ 雖無予之，路車乘馬。又何予之？玄袞及黼。 觱沸檻泉，言采其芹。君子來朝，言觀其旂。 其旂淠淠，鸞聲嘒嘒。載驂載駟，君子所屆。 赤芾在股，邪幅在下。彼交匪紓，天子所予。 樂只君子，天子命之。樂只君子，福祿申之。 維柞之枝，其葉蓬蓬。樂只君子，殿天子之邦。 樂只君子，萬福攸同。平平左右，亦是率從。 汎汎楊舟，紼纚維之。樂只君子，天子葵之。 樂只君子，福祿膍之。優哉游哉，亦是戾矣。

角弓

騂騂角弓，翩其反矣。兄弟昏姻，無胥遠矣。 爾之遠矣，民胥然矣。爾之教矣，民胥傚矣。 此令兄弟，綽綽有裕。不令兄弟，交相為瘉。 民之無良，相怨一方。受爵不讓，至于己斯亡。 老馬反為駒，不顧其後。如食宜饇，如酌孔取。 毋教猱升木，如塗塗附。君子有徽猷，小人與屬。 雨雪瀌瀌，見晛曰消。莫肯下遺，式居婁驕。 雨雪浮浮，見晛曰流。如蠻如髦，我是用憂。

菀柳

有菀者柳，不尚息焉？上帝甚蹈，無自暱焉。俾予靖之，後予極焉。 有菀者柳，不尚愒焉？上帝甚蹈，無自瘵焉。俾予靖之，後予邁焉。 有鳥高飛，亦傅于天。彼人之心，于何其臻？曷予靖之？居以凶矜。
