《兔罝》
兔罝[1]
肃肃兔罝，
椓[2]之丁丁。
赳赳武夫，
公侯干城[3]。
肃肃兔罝，
施于中逵[4]。
赳赳武夫，
公侯好仇[5]。
肃肃兔罝，
施于中林。
赳赳武夫，
公侯腹心。
严严实实结兔网，
木桩敲得当当响。
赳赳武夫真勇猛，
公侯把他做屏障。
严严实实结兔网，
放在大路正中央。
赳赳武夫真勇猛，
公侯把他做伴当。
严严实实结兔网，
放在树林正中央。
赳赳武夫真勇猛，
公侯心腹守四方。
注释：

The Rabbit Catcher[1]
Well set are rabbit nets;
On the pegs go the blows.
The warrior our lord gets
Protects him from the foes.
Well set are rabbit nets,
Placed where crossroads appear.
The warrior our lord gets
Will be his good compeer.
Well set are rabbit nets,
Amid the forest spread.
The warrior our lord gets
Serves him with heart and head.
[1]This was a song in praise of a rabbit catcher, fit to be a warrior and compeer of the lord. It set forth the influence of the lord as so powerful and beneficial that individuals of the lowest rank might be made fit to occupy the highest positions.
