雪賦圖
設色紙本 立軸
款識:《雪賦》歲將暮,時既昏。寒風積,愁雲繁。梁王不悅,遊於兔園。乃置旨酒,命賓友。召鄒生,延枚叟。相如末至,居客之右。俄而微霰零,密雪下。王乃歌北風於衛詩,詠南山於周雅。授簡於司馬大夫,曰:「抽子秘思,騁子妍辭。侔色揣稱,為寡人賦之。」相如於是避席而起,逡巡而揖,曰:「臣聞雪宮建於東國,雪山峙於西域。岐昌發詠於來思,姬滿申歌於黃竹。曹風以麻衣比色,楚謠以幽蘭儷曲。盈尺則呈瑞於豐年,袤丈則表沴於陰德。雪之時義遠矣哉,請言其始。若廼玄律窮,嚴氣升。焦溪涸,湯谷凝。火井滅,溫泉冰。沸潭無湧,炎風不興。北戶墐扉,裸壤垂繒。於是河海生雲,朔漠飛沙。連氛累䨠,掩日韜霞。霰淅瀝而先集,雪粉糅而遂多。 其為狀也,散漫交錯,氛氳蕭索。藹藹浮浮,漉漉奕奕。聯翩飛灑,徘徊委積。始緣甍而冒棟,終開簾而入隙。初便娟於墀廡,末縈盈於帷席。既因方而為珪,亦遇圓而成璧。眄隰則萬頃同縞,瞻山則千巗俱白。於是臺如重璧,逵似連璐。庭列瑤階,林挺瓊樹。皓鶴奪鮮,白鷳失素。紈袖慚冶,玉顏掩嫮。若廼積素未虧,白日朝鮮,爛兮若燭龍,銜燿照崑山。爾其流滴垂冰,緣霤承隅。粲兮若馮夷,剖蚌列明珠。至夫繽紛繁騖之貌,皓汗皎潔之儀。廻散縈積之勢,飛聚凝曜之奇。固展轉而無窮,嗟難得而備知。若廼申娛玩之無已,夜幽靜而多懷。風觸楹而轉響,月承幌而通暉。酌湘吳之醇酎,御狐貉之兼衣。對庭鵾之雙舞,瞻雲雁之孤飛。折園中之萱草。階堦上之芳薇。踐霜雪之交積,憐枝葉之相違。馳遙思於千里,願接手而同歸。」鄒陽聞之,懣然心服。有懷妍唱,敬接末曲。於是廼作而賦積雪之歌,歌曰:「攜佳人兮披重幄,援綺衾兮坐芳縟。燎薰鑪兮炳明燭,酌桂酒兮揚清曲。」又續而為白雪之歌,歌曰:「曲既揚兮酒既陳,朱顏酡兮思自親。願低帷以昵枕,念解珮而褫紳。怨年歲之易暮,傷後會之無因。君寧見堦上之白雪,豈鮮耀於陽春。」歌卒,王廼尋繹吟翫,撫覽扼腕。顧枚叔起而為亂,亂曰:「白羽雖白,質以輕兮。白玉雖白,空守貞兮。未若茲雪,因時興滅。玄陰凝不昧其潔,太陽曜不固其節。節豈我名,潔豈我貞。憑雲升降,從風飄零。值物賦象,任地班形。素因遇立,汚隨染成。縱心皓然,何慮何營？」
嘉靖丙戌(1526)冬十一月,阻氷路河,雨霰交集,俄而大雪盈尺。適承才伯太史過訪,談及惠連此賦,命筆錄之。因索補圖,越三日乃成,為記而歸之。雖不能工,亦可以紀異鄉得友之樂也。衡山文徵明。鈐印:徵明、惟庚寅吾以降
