有來雍雍、至止肅肅。
相維辟公、天子穆穆。
于薦廣牡、相予肆祀。
假哉皇考、綏予孝子。
宣哲維人、文武維后。
燕及皇天、克昌厥后。
綏我眉壽、介以繁祉。
既友烈考、亦友文母。

They come full of harmony ；
They are here ， in all gravity ； ——
The princess assisting ，
While the Son of Heaven looks profound .
While I present [this] noble bull ，
And they assist me in setting forth the sacrifice ，
O great and august Father ，
Comfort me ， your filial Son ！
With penetrating wisdom thou did'st play the man ，
A sovereign with the gifts both of peace and war ，
Giving rest even to great Heaven ，
And ensuring prosperity to thy descendants .
Thou comfortest me with the eyebrows of longevity ；
Thou makest me great with manifold blessings .
I offer this sacrifice to my meritorious father ，
And to my accomplished mother .
