Classic Poem

Behold that bay, which is formed by the winding of the river KI:
Beset with tufts of verdant canes, how beautifully luxuriant!
So is our prince adorned with virtues
He is like one, that carveth and smootheth ivory.

He is like one that cutteth and polisheth diamonds,
O how sublime, yet profound is he!
O how resolute, yet cautious! How removed and respectable!
We have a prince adorned with virtues:
Whom to the end of time we never can forget.
