彤弓弨兮、受言藏之。
我有嘉賓、中心貺之。
鐘鼓既設、一朝饗之。

The red bows unbent,
Were received and deposited.
I have here an admirable guest,
And with all my heart I bestow one on him.
The bells and drums have been arranged in order,
And all the morning will I feast him.

And with all my heart I rejoice in him.

And all the morning will I honour him.

And with all my heart I love him.

And all the morning will I pledge him.
