King Wen is famous ；
Yea ， he is very famous .
What he sought was the repose [of the people] ；
What he saw was the completion [of his work] .
A sovereign true was king Wen ！
King Wen received the appointment [of Heaven] ，
And achieved his martial success .
Having overthrown Chong ，
He fixed his [capital] city in Feng .
A sovereign true was king Wen ！
He repaired the walls along the [old] moat ：
His establishing himself in Feng was according to [the pattern of his forefather s] ，
It was not that he was in haste to gratify his wishes ； ——
It was to show the filial duty which had come down to him .
A sovereign true was [our] royal prince ！
His royal merit was brightly displayed ，
By those walls of Feng .
There were collected [the sympathies of the people of] the four quarters ，
Who regarded the royal prince as their protector .
A sovereign true was [our] royal prince ！
The Feng-water flowed on to the east [of the city] ，
Through the meritorious labour of Yu .
There were collected [the sympathies of the people of ] the four quarters ，
Who would have the great king as their ruler .
A sovereign true was the great king ！
In the capital of Hao he built his hall with its circlet of water ；
From the west to the east ，
From the south to the north ，
There was not a thought but did him homage .
A sovereign true was the great king ！
He examined and divined ， did the king ，
About settling in the capital of Hao .
The tortoise-shell decided the site ，
And king Wu completed the city .
A sovereign true was king Wu ！
By the Feng-water grows the white millet ； ——
Did not king Wu show wisdom in his employment of officers ？
He would leave his plans to his descendants ，
And secure comfort and support to his son .
A sovereign true was king Wu ！
