In the magpie's nest
  Dwells the dove at rest.
  This young bride goes to her future home;
  To meet her a hundred chariots come.

  Of the magpie's nest
  Is the dove possessed.
  This bride goes to her new home to live;
  And escort a hundred chariots give.

  The nest magpie wove
  Now filled by the dove.
  This bride now takes to her home her way;
  And these numerous cars her state display.
