~In Praise of a Ruler of Ts’in~
What trees grow on the Chung-nan hill?
The white fir and the plum.
In fur of fox, ’neath ‘broidered robe,
Thither our prince is come.
His face glows with vermilion hue.
O may he prove a ruler true!
What find we on the Chung-nan hill?
Deep nook and open glade.
Our prince shows there the double Ke
On lower robe displayed.
His pendant holds each tinkling gem,
Long life be his, and deathless fame!
