水调歌头 · 寿福王
叔父茅封贵，先帝棣华亲。平生为善最乐，夙德宛天人。玉叶金枝方茂，瑶沼丹壶如画，光景镇长新。五福一日寿，万象总皆春。
正秋分，记初度，绂缠麟。传宣来自绛阙，瑞采蔚轮囷。乐有钧天九奏，尊有仙家九酝，翠釜紫驼珍。笑把南山指，还以祝严宸。
Uncle Mao Fenggui is as close as a brother to the former emperor. He has always been the most joyful and kind person. His virtue is as pure as that of the gods. His family is thriving, like a flourishing tree with golden branches and jade leaves. His residence is as beautiful as a painted picture, and its atmosphere is always fresh and new. He enjoys all the five blessings, and today is his birthday. Everything is filled with the vitality of spring.
On the autumn equinox, we celebrate his initial birthday with great honors, like a precious robe wrapped around a precious麟. The good news comes from the divine realm, and his good fortune is abundant and magnificent. The music is divine and harmonious, and the wine is like the elixir of the gods. The dishes are exquisite, like those in a jade bowl or purple vessel. With a smile, we point to the South Mountain and wish him a long life, using the imperial palace as an example to express our best wishes.
