A poem about a typical ancestor worship ceremony, very likely a imitator of Bei Wind(邶风) Jian Jian(简兮), as the focal point are both on the left hand music instrument(籥) and the right hand bird tail(翟).
The key characters 右, 只, 房, 敖 are further analysed with new interpretation. The two paragraph structure also indicates it a poem of abnormal which contrasts with the lovely and happy atmosphere revealed, as Confucius said: happy without overwhelming, sad without hurting(乐而不淫，哀而不伤).

君子阳阳，左执簧。
右招我由房，其乐只且！
君子陶陶，左执翿。
右招我由敖，其乐只且！
