The book of odes and hymns – part 7

TU JU

Carefully adjusted are the rabbit nets;

Clang clang go the blows on the pegs.

That stalwart, martial man

Might be shield and wall to his prince.

Carefully adjusted are the rabbit nets,

And placed where many ways meet.

That stalwart, martial man

Would be a good companion for his prince.

Carefully adjusted are the rabbit nets,

And placed in the midst of the forest.

That stalwart, martial man

Might be head and heart to his prince.

兔罝

肅肅兔罝、椓之丁丁。

赳赳武夫、公侯干城。

肅肅兔罝、施于中逵。

赳赳武夫、公侯好仇。

肅肅兔罝、施于中林。

赳赳武夫、公侯腹心。
