毛詩序：「《衡門》，誘僖公也。愿而無立志，故作是詩以誘掖其君也。」衡門
衡門之下，可以棲遲。泌之洋洋，可以樂飢。
Beneath my door made of cross pieces of wood,
I can rest at my leisure;
By the wimpling stream from my fountain,
I can joy amid my hunger.
豈其食魚，必河之魴。豈其取妻，必齊之姜。
Why, in eating fish;
Must we have bream from the He?
Why, in taking a wife,
Must we have a Jiang of Qi?
豈其食魚，必河之鯉。豈其取妻，必宋之子。
Why, in eating fish;
Must we have carp from the He?
Why, in taking a wife,
Must we have a Zi of Song?
《衡門》，三章，章四句。
