新台有泚,河水弥弥。 燕婉之求,蘧篨不鲜。 新台有洒,河水浼浼。 燕婉之求,蘧篨不殄。 鱼网之设,鸿则离之。 燕婉之求,得此戚施。
The New Terrace stands bright and clear, the river flows wide and full. For a gentle and loving spouse, there are many unsuitable suitors. The New Terrace stands clean and pure, the river flows gently. For a gentle and loving spouse, there is no end to the unsuitable suitors. The fishing net is set, but the wild goose escapes it. For a gentle and loving spouse, I obtain this ugly one.
