The king was walking in his sacred park, Where lay the does, all sleek and clean. ’Twas sweet to him their restfulness to mark, And see the white birds’ glistening sheen. Then to his sacred pond he took his way To see the fish their leaping skill display.’

The king was in his marvellous park;The does reposed about, The does so sleek and fat:And the white birds shone glistening.The king was by his marvellous pond;How full was it of fishes leaping about!"

The King was in the Magic Park, Where stags and does found shelter. The stags and does were fat and sleek, The white birds gleamed and glistened. The King stood by the Magic Pond,

With the emperor in the sacred gardens there, the deer lay in pairs at ease, paired deer all sleek and glistening, white birds all bright and shmmering, and with the emperor at the sacred pool there, the fish leapt so strong and sure.

When the King in his elegant pleasure park saw the stag and its dam sporting at their ease, the stag and its dam were shining and fat. Resplendent were the feathers of the white bird (something like a stork). The King stood by the side of his beautiful fish ponds; how full were they of the playful fishes!
