1 象虎:
齊湣王既取燕滅宋,遂伐趙侵魏,南惡楚,西絕秦交示威諸侯,以求為帝。平原君問於魯仲連曰:「齊其成乎?」魯仲連笑曰:「成哉?臣竊悲其為象虎也。」平原君曰:「何謂也?」魯仲連曰:「臣聞楚人有患狐者,多方以捕之,弗獲,或致之曰:『虎,山獸之雄也,天下之獸見之,咸讋而亡其神,伏而俟命。』乃使作象虎,取虎皮蒙之,出於牖下,狐入遇焉,啼而踣。他日豕暴於其田,乃使伏象虎,而使其子以弋掎諸衢。田者呼,豕逸於莽,遇象虎而反奔衢,獲焉。楚人大喜,以象虎為可以臣服天下之獸矣。於是野有如馬,被象虎以趨之。人或止之曰:『是駮也,真虎且不當,往且敗。』弗聽。馬雷呴而前,攫而噬之,顱磔而死。今齊實象虎,而燕與宋,狐與豕也,弗戒,諸侯其無駮乎?」明年,望諸君以諸侯之師入齊,湣王為淖齒所殺。
