The book of odes and hymns – part 67

JUN ZI YANG YANG

My husband looks full of satisfaction.

In his left hand he holds his reed-organ,

And with his right he calls me to the room.

Oh the joy!

My husband looks delighted.

In his left hand he holds his screen of feathers,

And with his right he calls me to the stage.

Oh the joy!
