James Legge (1891)
The things which from of old have got the One (the Tao) are Heaven which by it is bright and pure; Earth rendered thereby firm and sure; Spirits with powers by it supplied; Valleys kept full throughout their void; All creatures which through it do live; Princes and kings who from it do their model give.
