卷二之十柳下惠妻
Wife of Liu Xiahui

魯大夫柳下惠之妻也。柳下惠處魯，三黜而不去，憂民救亂。妻曰：「無乃瀆乎！君子有二恥。國無道而貴，恥也；國有道而賤，恥也。今當亂世，三黜而不去，亦近恥也。」柳下惠曰：「油油之民，將陷於害，吾能已乎！且彼為彼，我為我，彼雖裸裎，安能污我！」油油然與之處，仕於下位。柳下既死，門人將誄之。妻曰：「將誄夫子之德耶，則二三子不如妾知之也。」乃誄曰：「夫子之不伐兮，夫子之不竭兮，夫子之信誠而與人無害兮，屈柔從俗，不強察兮，蒙恥救民，德彌大兮，雖遇三黜，終不蔽兮，愷悌君子，永能厲兮，嗟乎惜哉，乃下世兮，庶幾遐年，今遂逝兮，嗚呼哀哉，魂神泄兮，夫子之諡，宜為惠兮。」門人從之以為誄，莫能竄一字。君子謂柳下惠妻能光其夫矣。詩曰：「人知其一，莫知其他。」此之謂也。

頌曰：下惠之妻，賢明有文，柳下既死，門人必存，將誄下惠，妻為之辭，陳列其行，莫能易之。
