The Ho Pe Nung

Of flowers in clusters large and gay,
How bright the sparrow-plum’s display !
In reverent harmony on glide
The chariots of the royal bride.

These flowers their clusters large and gay,
As of the peach or plum display.
This grand-child of the Peaceful king
Joy to the marquis’ son shall bring,

As threads of silk together twine,
To form the angler’s faithful line ;
So may the union close abide
Of gallant prince and royal bride !
