七言绝句 押鱼韵
黄泉碧落事茫如，等是南柯太守书。
呓语偶然成耸动，梦魂终自在浮虚。
注：○黄泉：地下也。《左传·隐公元年》：“不及黄泉,无相见也。”碧落：青天也。 杨炯 《和辅先入昊天观星瞻》：“碧落三乾外，黄图四海中。”○南柯太守书：唐李公佐有《南柯太守传》，言梦魂虚无之事也。呓语：梦话也。王嘉 《拾遗记·吴》：“﹝ 吕蒙 ﹞尝在孙策座上酣醉，忽卧，于梦中诵《周易》一部，俄而惊起……众座皆云：‘吕蒙呓语通《周易》。’”耸动：使人惊也。《南史·江夷传》：“每从游幸，与群僚相随，见传诏驰来，知当呼己，耸动愧恧，形于容貌。”○浮虚：李公佐《南柯太守传》：“感南柯之浮虚。”○原文云：“圣贤之言天启也，若被焚之巫觋，皆小说语。盖彼方从梦醒，朦胧告其侣，言已复入梦间矣。”译文用唐人传奇事也。
The Revelations of Devout and Learn'd
Who rose before us, and as Prophets burn'd,
Are all but Stories, which, awoke from Sleep
They told their comrades, and to Sleep return'd.
The Revelations of Devout and Learn'd
Who rose before us, and as Prophets burn'd,
Are all but Stories, which, awoke from Sleep
