《史记·八书·乐书》
歌曲说： 太一神的恩赐啊，天马降临人间，汗流如血啊，嘴里流出褐色的唾液，从容驰骋啊，一跃过万里，谁能匹敌啊，龙是它的朋友 。
歌曲曰： 太一贡兮天马下，沾赤汗兮沫流赭。骋容与兮跇万里，今安匹兮龙为友。 
The lyrics say: The grace of God Taiyi, the heavenly horse descends to the world, sweating like blood, brown saliva flowing from its mouth, galloping with ease, leaping over ten thousand li, who can match it, the dragon is its friend.
