《南齐书·列传·卷五十一》
陛下的仁德可以和天地相媲美，爱护抚育万物众生，即使是昆虫草木，如果有不能按其自然形态生长的，您见了也觉得悲伤。何况对于出白天性的兄弟友爱的深情，怎会不怀恋?
陛下德侔造化，仁育群生，虽在昆虫草木，有不得其所者，览而伤焉，而况乎友爱天至，孔怀之深！
Your Majesty's benevolence can be compared with the heavens and the earth, caring for and cultivating all living beings. Even insects and plants, if they cannot grow according to their natural form, you will feel sad. What's more, for the natural brotherhood of love, how can you not miss it?
