Ceaseless flows that beck,
Far stretch the southern hills,
May you be sturdy as the bamboo,
May you flourish llike the pine,
May elder brother and younger brother
Always love each other,
Never do evil to one another.

To give continuance to foremothers and
	forefathers
We build a house, many hundred cubits of
	wall;
To south and west its doors.
Here shall we live, here rest,
Here laugh, here talk.

We bind the frames, creak, creak;
We hammer the mud, tap, tap,
That it may be a place where wind and rain
	cannot enter,
Nor birds and rats get in,
But where our lord may dwell.

As a halbred, even so plumed,
As an arrow, even so sharp,
As a bird, even so soaring,
As wings, even so flying
Are the halls to which our lord ascends.1

Well levelled is the courtyard,
Firm are the pillars,
Cheerful are the rooms by day,
Softly gloaming by night,
A place our lord can be at peace.

Below, the rush-mats; over them the
	bamboo-mats.
Comfortably he sleeps,
He sleeps and wakes
and interprets his dreams.
'Your lucky dreams, what are they?'
'They were of black bears and brown,
of serpents and snakes.'

The diviner thus interprets it:
'Black bears and brown
Mean men-children.
Snakes and serpents
Mean girl-children.'

So he bears a son,
And puts him to sleep upon a bed,
Clothes him in robes,
Give him a jade sceptre to play with.
The child's howling is very lusty;2
In red greaves shall he flare,
Be lord and king of house and home.

Then he bears a daughter,
And puts her upon the ground,
Clothes her in swaddling-clothes,
Give her a loom-whorl to play with.
For her no decorations, no emblems;
Her only care, the wine and food,
And how to give no trouble to father and
	mother.
