《三国志·吴书·贺全吕周钟离传》
我冒昧比附古人，因此才明白自己的归宿，输献拳拳之心情，坦露地说出肺腑之言，请求您降下春天的甘霖，哀怜拯救我的危急，不再对我有所猜疑，拒绝我委身相托。
敢缘古人，因知所归，拳拳输情，陈露肝膈。乞降春天之润，哀拯其急，不复猜疑，绝其委命。
I have dared to compare myself to the ancients in order to understand my own destiny. I have poured out my heartfelt emotions and spoken my mind honestly. I beg you to bestow your benevolent favor, take pity on my plight, and cease to harbor doubts or reject me.
