Oh! great wast thou, O king Wu, Displaying the utmost strength in thy work. Truly accomplished was king Wen, Opening the path for his successors. Thou did'st receive the inheritance from him; Thou did'st vanquish Yin, and put a stop to its cruelties; - Effecting the firm establishment of thy merit.

Oh! great wast thou, O king Wu,
Displaying the utmost strength in thy work.
Truly accomplished was king Wen,
Opening the path for his successors.
Thou did'st receive the inheritance from him;
Thou did'st vanquish Yin, and put a stop to its cruelties; -
Effecting the firm establishment of thy merit.
