薄命妾原情所志


白等

天地之間 寃痛事段

古有薄命妾

或色衰而見薄者

或情疎而見薄者有之

而矣女之見薄

非色衰而然也

非情疎而然也

大槩矣女襁褓之秊

俱失父母 見養於外家

芳年二十出嫁於錦城人

則郞年二十五歲也

男兒二十五歲

孰無陰陽之心

自相逢夜 今至六七之間

不見一番衾裡之樂

以靑春之心 不勝其情

每於深夜 觧裙就枕

手撫全身 强要合歡

則聽而不聞

虛送長夜 苦待明朝

做其好容 巧其言笑

以挑其心

則視而不見爲臥乎所

今宵明宵 枕席流泉

房帷之中 便成楚越

夫婦之間 有若仇敵

琴瑟之樂 吾未見之也

關雎之興 吾未知之也

身上新衣 自然而緩

頭邊黛髻猶是虛文乙仍于

痛哭歸來 方欲自決是如乎所

姑母唐突呈狀推尋設計爲乎所

所謂郎子 以外皃見之

則面目肌髥 太似人矣

而至於房事 有同僧流

具體未達 徒大無力

則猛虎之猶豫 不如蜂蛘之螫

人皆曰 無用將軍

將軍無用武之術

則函關萬無自闢之理是如乎

乘夜渡盧 深入不毛者

諸葛征伐立策

而髥婦良君

不知合變之術則已矣已矣

不去何俟

女子所仰望放良人者果何事耶

望其矣衣乎耶

望其食耶

非衣非食

而所大望者

惟枕席上一事而矣

旣失耶望且無興

況則衣亦不足貴也

食亦不足貴也

三生佳緣亦仍事

前生今生後生謂之三

而前後生猶不可信

而生於今之世 不見今之世樂

可憐此生

生不如死是乎厼

且以天生之物理言之

則禽有䲶鴦

木有連理

雄飛從雌者 禽鳥之情也

連枝交柯 草木之情也

男兒情欲稟於陰陽

可以人不如禽鳥草木乎

夫唱婦隨 夫婦之義也

女必從夫 男女之情也

而使有情之物

隨無益之夫

必不肯從

天性之固然

一女抱怨 飛霜夜擊

內無怨女 文王之治

男女區區私情 仰訴於積善之下

無使靑春之女人虛老於無用將軍之家下

遂物理宜

千萬望良爲只爲
