《吕氏春秋·纪·季秋纪》
让吴，越两国彼此一道毁灭，士大夫踏肝践肺同日战死，我跟吴王颈臂相交肉搏而亡，这是我最大的砾望。
令吴、越之国相与俱残，士大夫履肝肺，同日而死，孤与吴王接颈交臂而偾，此孤之大愿也。
Let Wu and Yue destroy each other, let the scholars step on the liver and the lungs and die on the same day, and I will fight with the King of Wu, intertwining our necks and arms, and die in the end, this is my greatest ambition.
