VII. Wo Chiang
VII
The Wo Chiang; narrative. An ode appropriate to a sacrifice to King Wên, associated with Heaven, in the brilliant hall.
My offerings here are given,
A ram, a bull.
Accept them, mighty Heaven,
All-bountiful.
Thy statutes, O great king,
I keep, I love;
So on the realm to bring
Peace from above. p. 438
From Wên comes blessing rich;
Now on the right
He owns those gifts to which
Him I invite.
Do I not night and day
Revere great Heaven,
That thus its favor may
To Chou be given?
A ram, a bull.
Accept them, mighty Heaven,
All-bountiful.
Thy statutes, O great king,
I keep, I love;
So on the realm to bring
Peace from above. p. 438
From Wên comes blessing rich;
Now on the right
He owns those gifts to which
Him I invite.
Do I not night and day
Revere great Heaven,
That thus its favor may
To Chou be given?
