:　　昔桓公志在伐莒，郭牙審其幽趣，魏后心存去漢，德祖究其深言。 When Duke Huan of Qi meant to attack Ju, Guo Ya read his hidden intent; when the Wei empress meant to remove Han, Dezhi (Yang Xiu) plumbed her deeper meaning.

高視上京，有懷德祖，才謝天人，多慚子建，書不盡意，寧俟繁辭。 Gazing toward the capital, I think of Dezao; my talent falls far short of heaven and earth, and I feel deeply ashamed before Zijian; words cannot say all I mean, so why multiply them?

曹植儻預聞高論，則不隕令名，楊修若切在下風，亦詎虧淳德。 Had Cao Zhi heard your lofty discourse, his fine name would not have fallen; had Yang Xiu stood in your shadow, his pure virtue would not have suffered.
