蓋聞孝者不背親以要利,仁者不忘君以徇私,志士不探亂以徼幸,智者不詭道以自危。足下大君,昔避內難,南游百越,非疏骨肉,樂彼吳會,智者深識,獨或宜然。曹公愍其守志清恪,離羣寡儔,故特遣使江東,或迎或送,今將至矣。就令足下處偏平之地,依德義之主,居有泰山之固,身為喬松之偶,以義言之,猶宜背彼向此,舍民趣父也。且邾儀父始與隱公盟,魯人嘉之,而不書爵,然則王所未命,爵尊不成,春秋之義也。況足下今日之所託者乃危亂之國,所受者乃矯誣之命乎?苟不逞之與羣,而厥父之不恤,不可以言孝。忘祖宗所居之本朝,安非正之姦職,難可以言忠。忠孝並替,難以言智。又足下昔日為曹公所禮辟,夫戚族人而疏所生,內所寓而外王室,懷邪祿而叛知己,遠福祚而近危亡,棄明義而收大恥,不亦可惜邪!若能翻然易節,奉帝養父,委身曹公,忠孝不墜,榮名彰矣。宜深留計,早決良圖。
