与宋公子牧仲书

(清)侯方域

    某叨受太保先公深知,尝援其难,公子又不以仆为不肖,数下交质以所为文业。仆窃见郡中自吴徐二三子凋谢之后,近二十年绝无有清才标映如公子者,尝心口叹颂不能置。今有所欲言,伏惟公子听之。

    仆闻之贾子曰:诸人以太保既薨,有愿公子出而结交天下贵人,一如太保在日,以为克似太保者。窃谓太保在日,乃天下贵人,皆愿一当以交太保,非太保之交之也。今论者顾欲公子求而交之,以为克似太保,此不惟不似,而固以相远甚矣。往郡中贵达子弟,固有然者,然皆以财力自雄,周旋良苦。今公子善病,体不任衣。太保清节,仆之所谅未有厚资贻公子也。所谓财与力者,公子自审能之乎?破其业以致贫,劳其身以致病,而徒博一交结贵人之名,仆窃为公子不取也。

    抑人之所谓克似其先者有道,不可以不辨。有以卿相之子,世为卿相而不必不辱其先;

    有以卿相之子,乃甘为一介之士,而足以光益其袓父者。若公子不深察其道,即如诸人所云,亦不过仿太保在日存其门户,方幅外似之耳,非谓公子遂真似太保为宰相也。公子之家昔为宰相今为秀才何可强同顾舍其力之所能可以得其真似而必出于不可得之数以为聊似其外者。何也?夫克似之道,在于守道,读书。公子才气超轶,何施不可?愿且朝夕自爱调病,病愈之后,以诸人所陈交结之才,多收古今书籍;以交结之力,闭户力学而笃行之。如此一二十年,亦不必之作太保。即不然,太保亦必含笑于九泉,决不以公子甘为一介之士,遂以为不克似之也。某皇恐再拜。

【注】①宋牧仲,即宋荦(1634―1713),清河南商丘人,官至吏部尚书。诗与王士祯齐名,有《西陂类稿》三十九卷。
