Shijing IV. 3. (292)
In his silken robes, clear and bright,
With his cap on his head, looking so respectful,
From the hall he goes to the foot of the stairs,
And from the sheep to the oxen.
[He inspects] the tripods, large and small.
The good spirits are mild ;
There is no noise, no insolence : –
An auspice, [all this], of great longevity.
Legge 292
