　　Before we can see our prince,
　　We must get the services of eunuch.
　　
　　On the hill-sides are varnish trees;
　　In the low wet grounds are chestnuts.
　　When we have seen our prince,

　　[There is] his short war carriage; --
　　With the ridge-like end of its pole, elegantly bound in five places;
　　With its slip rings and side straps,
　　And the traces attached by gilt rings to the masked transverse;
　　With its beautiful mat of tiger's skin, and its long naves;
　　With its piebalds, and horses with white left feet.
　　When I think of my husband [thus],
　　Looking bland and soft as a piece of jade;
　　Living there in his blank house;
　　It sends confusion into all the corners of my heart.
　　
　　His four horses are in very fine condition,
　　And the six reins are in the hand [of the charioteer].
　　Piebald, and bay with black mane, are the insides;
　　Yellow with black mouth, and black, are the outsides;
　　Side by side are placed the dragon-figured shields;
　　Gilt are the buckles for the inner reins.
　　I think of my husband [thus],
　　Looking so mild in the cities there.
　　What time can be fixed for his return?
　　Oh! how I think of him!
　　
　　His mail-covered team moves in great harmony;
　　There are the trident spears with their gilt ends;
　　And the beautiful feather-figured shield;
　　With the tiger-skin bow-case, and the carved metal ornaments on its front.
　　The two bows are placed in the case,
　　Bound with string to their bamboo frames.
　　I think of my husband,
　　When I lie down and rise up.
　　Tranquil and serene is the good man,
　　With his virtuous fame spread far and near.
