国风 BOOK OF POETRY
邶风 Songs Collected in Bei, Modern Hebei

简兮

简兮简兮，方将万舞。
日之方中，在前上处chǔ。

硕人俣俣yǔ，公庭万舞。
有力如虎，执辔pèi如组。

左手执龠yuè，右手秉翟dí。
赫如渥wò赭zhě，公言锡cì爵。

山有榛zhēn，隰xí有苓líng。
云谁之思，西方美人。
彼美人兮，西方之人兮。

A DANCER*

With main and might
Dances the ace.
Sun at its height,
He holds his place.

He dances long
With might and main.
Like tiger strong
He holds the rein.

A flute in his left hand,
In his right a plume fine,
Red-faced, he holds command Given a cup of wine.

Hazel above,
Sweet grass below.
Who is not sick for love
Of the dancing Beau?
Who is not sick for love
Of the Western Beau?
