毛詩序：「《敬之》，羣臣進戒嗣王也。」敬之
敬之敬之，天維顯思。
命不易哉！無曰高高在上。
陟降厥士，日監在茲。
維予小子，不聦敬止？
日就月將，學有緝熙于光明。
佛時仔肩，示我顯德行。
Let me be reverent, let me be reverent, [in attending to my duties];
[The way of] Heaven is evident,
And its appointment is not easily [preserved].
Let me not say that It is high aloft above me.
It ascends and descends about our doings;
It daily inspects us wherever we are.
I am [but as] a little child,
Without intelligence to be reverently [attentive to my duties];
But by daily progress and monthly advance,
I will learn to hold fast the gleams [of knowledge], till I arrive at bright intelligence.
Assist me to bear the burden [of my position],
And show me how to display a virtuous conduct.
《敬之》，一章，十二句。
