《序》[View] [Edit] [History]

1
嗚呼!世之遭時不偶者,可勝道哉!夫人生天地間,或負氣節,或抱經濟,或擅長學問文章,類宜顯名當世,際會風雲,顧乃考其生平,則又窮年偃蹇,湮沒以終。豈士伸於知己,而屈於不知己歟?抑何其不幸也!雖然「嫫母乘時,則嬙施晦跡」,前人早言之矣。嘗見夫偽才自飾者,往往膺高官,享重祿,亦豈不馳聲海內,交重一時?紀載章章,更僕難數,固不得謂之異事也。語云:「千里馬常有,而伯樂不常逢。」此抑塞磊落之奇士,所以悲歌慷慨,而不能自已歟!吳門慕真山人心慨之,頃出其所撰《青樓夢》來乞為序。其書張皇眾美,尚有知音,意特為落魄才人反觀對鏡,而非徒矜言綺麗為也。噫嘻!美人淪落,名士飄零,振古如斯,同聲一哭。覽是書者,其以作感士不遇也可,倘謂為導人狹邪之書,則誤矣。
