7 正论解:
楚灵王汰侈,右尹子革侍坐。左史倚相趋而过,王曰:“是良史也,子善视之。是能读《三坟》、《五典》、《八索》、《九丘》。”对曰:“夫良史者,记君之过,扬君之善。而此子以润辞为官,不可为良史。臣又尝问焉,昔周穆王欲肆其心,将过行天下,使皆有车辙马迹焉。祭公谋父作《祈昭》以止王心,王是以获殁于文宫。臣闻其诗焉而弗知。若问远焉,其焉能知?”王曰:“子能乎?”对曰:“能。其诗曰:‘祈昭之愔愔乎,式昭德音,思我王度。式如玉,式如金,刑民之力,而无有醉饱之心。’”灵王揖而入,馈不食,寝不寐。数日,则固不能胜其情,以及其难。孔子读其志,曰:“克己复礼为仁。信善哉!楚灵王若能如是,岂其辱于乾溪?子革之非左史,所以风也。称诗以谏,顺哉!”
