XIII
The Ho Pi Nung I; allusive. The marriage of one of the royal princesses.
1Of flowers in clusters large and gay,
How bright the sparrow plum's display!
In reverent harmony on glide
The chariots of the royal bride.
How bright the sparrow plum's display!
In reverent harmony on glide
The chariots of the royal bride.
2These flowers their clusters large and gay,
As of the peach or plum display.
This grandchild of the peaceful king
Joy to the marquis’ son shall bring.
3As threads of silk together twine,
To form the angler's faithful line;
So may the union close abide
Of gallant prince and royal bride!
