颂·周颂·闵予小子之什·访落

访予落止，率时昭考。
於乎悠哉，朕未有艾。
将予就之，继犹判涣。
维予小子，未堪家多难。
绍庭上下，陟降厥家。
休矣皇考，以保明其身。


King Cheng's Ascension to the Throne*

I take counsel on early days:
How to follow my father's ways?
Ah! but he is far above me
And to reach him I am not free.
Please help me to get to his side,
To learn on what I should decide.
I am a young king not so great
To shoulder hard tasks of the State.
I will follow him up and down,
Take counsel to secure the crown.
Rest in peace, royal father dear,
O help me to be bright and clear!
