古詩：那 中英對照

猗與那與、置我 tao 鼓。

奏鼓簡簡、衎我烈祖。

湯孫奏假、綏我思成。

tao 鼓淵淵、嘒嘒琯聲。

既和且平、依我聲聲。

於赫湯孫、穆穆厥聲。

庸鼓有斁、萬舞有奕。

我有嘉客、亦不夷懌。

自古在昔、先民有作。

溫恭朝夕、執事有恪。

顧予烝嘗、湯孫之將。

How admirable ！ how complete ！

Here are set our hand-drums and drums .

The drums resound harmonious and loud ，

To delight our meritorious ancestor .

The descendant of Tang invites him with this music ，

That he may soothe us with the realization of our thoughts .

Deep is the sound of the hand-drums and drums ；

Shrilly sound the flutes ；

All harmonious and blending together ，

According to the notes of the sonorous gem .

Oh ！ majestic is the descendant of Tang ；

Very admirable is his music .

The large bells and drums fill the ear ；

The various dances are grandly performed .

We have admirable visitors ，

Who are pleased and delighted .

From the old ， before our time ，

The former men set us the example ； ——

How to be mild and humble from morning to night ，

And to be reverent in discharging the service .

May he regard our sacrifices in summer and autumn ，

[Thus] offered by the descendant of Tang ！
