毛詩序：「《湛露》，天子燕諸侯也。」湛露
湛湛露斯，匪陽不晞。厭厭夜飲，不醉無歸。
Heavy lies the dew;
Nothing but the sun can dry it.
Happily and long into the night we drink; -
Till all are drunk, there is no retiring.
湛湛露斯，在彼豐草。厭厭夜飲，在宗載考。
Heavy lies the dew;
On that luxuriant grass.
Happily and long into the night we drink.
In the honoured apartment we complete our carousal.
湛湛露斯，在彼杞棘。顯允君子，莫不令德。
Heavy lies the dew;
On those willows and jujube trees.
Distinguished and true are my noble guests, -
Every one of excellent virtue.
其桐其椅，其實離離。豈弟君子，莫不令儀。
From the Tong and the Yi,
Their fruit hangs down.
Happy and self-possessed are my noble guests, -
Every one of them of excellent deportment.
《湛露》，四章，章四句。
