XI. Pan

XI

The Pan; narrative. The greatness of Chou, and its firm possession of the kingdom, as seen in the progresses of its reigning sovereign.

Oh! great is now the house of Chou.
The lofty hills we climb,—
Both those whose ridges far extend,
And those with peaks sublime. p. 462

Along the Ho we watch the flow
Of its embankèd stream.
Where’er o’erhead the sky is spread,
Me truly king men deem.

The princes all, both great and small,
My summons promptly own.
So by this progress do I know
Chou stablished on the throne.
