《资治通鉴·汉纪·汉纪三十二》
鲍永离开座位磕头说： 我效忠刘玄，却不能保全他。靠他的部众企望富贵，使我感到惭愧，所以全都把他们遣散了。 
永离席叩头曰： 臣事更始，不能令全，诚惭以其众幸富贵，故悉罢之。 
Bow Yong left his seat and kowtowed, saying: I pledged allegiance to Liu Xuan, but could not protect him. I feel ashamed to seek riches by relying on his followers, so I have dispersed all of them.
