何彼秾矣 诗经

何彼秾矣,唐棣之华。 曷不肃雝?王姬之车。 何彼秾矣,华如桃李。 平王之孙,齐侯之子。 其钓维何?维丝伊缗。 齐侯之子,平王之孙。

How luxuriant are those blossoms! (literal translation)

How luxuriant are those blossoms of the pear tree! Why not be solemn and respectful, for the carriage of the princess? How luxuriant are those blossoms! Their flowers are like peach and plum blossoms. Grandson of King Ping, son of the Marquis of Qi. What is he fishing for? Only silk threads. Son of the Marquis of Qi, grandson of King Ping.
