《论衡·卷二十二·订鬼篇》
因此核实巫师的言辞，并不是有什么根据而说出来的，那些预示吉凶的话，是通过巫师的口自己迸发出来的，就像儿童唱的歌谣一样。
是以实巫之辞，无所因据，其吉凶自从口出，若童之摇矣。
Therefore, verifying the sorcerer's words is not based on anything, and the words that predict good or bad luck are uttered by the sorcerer's mouth spontaneously, just like the nursery rhymes sung by children.
