君子偕老 诗经

君子偕老，副笄六珈。 委委佗佗，如山如河，象服是宜。 子之不淑，云如之何？ 玼兮玼兮，其之翟也。 鬒发如云，不屑髢也。 玉之瑱也，象之揥也，扬且之皙也。 胡然而天也？胡然而帝也？ 瑳兮瑳兮，其之展也。 蒙彼绉絺，是绁袢也。 子之清扬，扬且之颜也。 展如之人兮，邦之媛也。

A gentleman and his wife grow old together (literal translation)

A gentleman and his wife grow old together, Adorned with six hairpins of jade. Graceful and dignified, Like mountains and rivers, Their ceremonial robes are befitting. If the wife is not virtuous, What then can be done? How beautiful, how radiant, Is her pheasant-feathered headdress! Her black hair like clouds, She disdains false hairpieces. Her earrings of jade, her hairpins of ivory, Her complexion fair and bright. How like a goddess, How like an empress! How lovely, how charming, Is her embroidered robe! Covered in that crinkled silk, It is a garment of fine weave. Her features are clear and bright, Her face radiant and fair. Such a woman, Is the beauty of the land!
