[原文]
12.3 若夫殷臣[诔]咏汤，追褒玄鸟之祚;周史歌文，上阐后稷之烈:诔述祖宗，盖诗人之则也。至于序述哀情，则触类而长。傅毅之诔北海，云“白日幽光，[氛雾]淫雨杳冥”;始序致感，遂为后式，景而效者，弥取于工矣。
[今译]
再像殷朝臣子歌咏汤王，在《玄鸟》诗中追美上天的降福;周朝史官歌颂文王，在《生民》诗中追叙后稷的功业。累积地叙述祖宗的功德，是诗人的写法。讲到表达哀情，就接触到相关的事物来发挥。傅毅的《北海王诔》，说到“太阳的光被遮住，大雨使得天地昏暗”;开始叙述就表达感情，便成为后来的样式，仰慕而效法的，更取得工巧了。
12.3 When the ministers of Yin mourned for King Tang, they used the poem "The Swallow" to commemorate the blessings showered on them by their ancestors. When the official historian of Zhou exalted King Wen's virtues, he also celebrated the accomplishments of King Wen's ancestor Hou Ji. The enumeration of ancestral virtues is an accepted convention in the Book of Poetry. Mourning-songs also use metaphors to describe sorrowful feelings. For example, Fu Yi's mourning-song for Prince Jing of Beihai has the following lines, "The day was darkened, rainfall dimmed the sky." His use of a preface to describe such feelings became a model for later generations. His imitators admired his skillfulness.
