訪予落止、率時(shí)昭考。
于乎悠哉、朕未有艾。
將予就之、繼猶判渙。
維予小子、未堪家多難。
紹庭上下、陟降厥家。
休矣皇考、以保明其身。

I take counsel at the beginning of my [rule] ，
How I can follow [the example] of my shrined father .
Ah ！ far-reaching [were his plans] ，
And I am not yet able to carry them out .
However I endeavour to reach to them ，
My continuation of them will still be all-deflected .
I am [but as] a little child ，
Unequal to the many difficulties of the State .
In his room ， [I will look for him] to go up and come down in the court ，
To ascend and descend in the house .
Admirable art thou ， O great Father ，
[Condescend] to preserve and enlighten me .
