<p>詩與史，相為終始者也。記載為史，而詞詠亦為史。<span class="書名">國風</span>，一十五國之史也。<span class="書名">雅</span>，<span class="專名">周</span>之史也。<span class="專名">魯</span>之詩列為<span class="書名">頌</span>，<span class="專名">魯</span>史也。夫<span class="書名">五子</span>作歌，並參<span class="書名">謨</span>、<span class="書名">誥</span>；<span class="書名">春秋</span>之旨，以史存詩：是故其義史，而其文不必史也。然則<span class="專名">朱</span>先生之為是書，詩話乎？史乎？余且以為史耳。先生以沈博絕麗之才，由薦舉入史館，未幾罷去。晚年乃輯<span class="書名">明詩綜</span>一百卷，一切以史法行之。於是首十帝，本紀也；次宗潢，重本支也；次樂章，祀郊廟以告成功也；次為諸臣，曰家數，列傳之體也；中為黨錮，為節義，為隱逸之士，書獨行也；次屬國，大無外之規也；次宮閨，理陰教也；又其次為釋子，為道流，為工、為賈、為青衣，雜流也；而以神怪、雜歌、謠辭終焉，志五行也。前為小傳，末綴以詩話。蒐采多，以其軼補正史之未備也。所收凡三千四百餘家，而其時據高位，攘大權，憚恭猶鬼神，馳驟若風雨者，削而不書，乃反不得與婦寺傔從齒，鳴呼，其嚴矣乎！先生著作等身，海內藏書家羅致恐後，余獨以是書未得單行為憾。<span class="專名">錢塘</span><span class="專名">姚</span>君<span class="專名">柳依</span>表而出之，卒鋟板以行。<span class="專名">雪田</span><span class="專名">陳</span>子與校讎之力，近客於余，因悉其開雕歲月。又以<span class="專名">姚</span>君之微顯闡幽，能得其會通，爰推先生所以作書之義，而序之如右。詩，史也。詩話，亦史也。則是書其為詠歌之史之史也夫！</p>

<p><span class="書名">靜志居詩話</span>，<span class="專名">朱竹垞</span>先生綴于<span class="書名">明詩綜</span>中，所以正<span class="專名">錢牧齋</span>之謬也。<span class="專名">牧齋</span><span class="書名">列朝詩集</span>，挾門戶之見，而肆其雌黃，南北分歧，是非倒置。<span class="專名">燠</span>嘗歎前代公卿，存心若此，宜乎水火交攻，禍至亡國焉！夫詩話何昉乎？<span class="專名">孟子</span>之論<span class="書名">小弁</span>、<span class="書名">凱風</span>與<span class="書名">雲漢</span>之時，蓋詩話之祖也。而<span class="專名">孟子</span>又曰：『誦其詩，論其世。』又曰：『詩亡然後<span class="書名">春秋</span>作。』則詩之義通于史學者。必有史才，而後可以說詩。若<span class="專名">牧齋</span>之毀譽不公，其尚足為信史哉？<span class="專名">竹垞</span>先生以博學鴻詞應舉入翰林，充<span class="書名">明史</span>纂修官，嘗以書上史館總裁，議其體例，惜未竟事，而以他故罷職。于是輯<span class="書名">明詩綜</span>，附以詩話，攷事務核，持論悉平，足以備一朝之掌故，而補史乘所不及，庶幾乎詩家<span class="專名">南董</span>矣。然詩話散見於各卷，向未彙編成書。<span class="專名">燠</span>同年生<span class="專名">姚</span>君<span class="專名">柳依</span>，為先生鄉後進，一日語燠曰：『前輩<span class="專名">吳景旭</span>嘗著<span class="書名">歷代詩話</span>，上起三百篇，下迄<span class="專名">明</span>季，分為十集，博則博矣，而苦不精。其專繫一朝者，則有<span class="書名">唐音癸籤</span>、<span class="書名">唐詩紀事</span>、<span class="書名">宋詩紀事</span>、<span class="書名">五代詩話</span>，而<span class="專名">明</span>詩話無專本。茲從<span class="書名">明詩綜</span>摘出，編而梓之，書名分類，並仍其舊，亦<span class="專名">竹垞</span>先生之志乎？』<span class="專名">燠</span>曰：『先生是<span class="專名">明</span>詩之功臣，子又先生之功臣也。敢為序。』<span class="專名">南城</span>後學<span class="專名">曾燠</span>。</p>
