<p><span class="專名">何元朗</span>謂<span class="書名">拜月亭</span>勝<span class="書名">琵琶記</span>，而<span class="專名">王弇州</span>力爭，以為不然，此是<span class="專名">王</span>識見未到處。<span class="書名">琵琶</span>無論襲舊太多，與<span class="書名">西廂</span>同病，且其曲無一句可入絃索者；<span class="書名">拜月</span>則字字穩帖，與彈搊膠黏，蓋南詞全本可上絃索者惟此耳。至於<span class="書名">走雨</span>、<span class="書名">錯認</span>、<span class="書名">拜月</span>諸折，俱問答往來，不用賓白，固為高手；即旦兒『髻雲堆』小曲，模擬閨秀嬌憨情態，活托逼真，<span class="書名">琵琶</span><span class="書名">咽糠</span>、<span class="書名">描真</span>亦佳，終不及也。向曾與<span class="專名">王房仲</span>談此曲，渠亦謂乃翁持論未確，且云：『不特別詞之佳，即如<span class="專名">聶古</span>、<span class="專名">陀滿</span>爭遷都，俱是兩人胸臆見解，絕無奏疏套子，亦非今人所解。』余深服其言。若<span class="書名">西廂</span>，才華富贍，北詞大本未有能繼之者，終是肉勝於骨，所以讓<span class="書名">拜月</span>一頭地。<span class="專名">元</span>人以<span class="專名">鄭</span>、<span class="專名">馬</span>、<span class="專名">關</span>、<span class="專名">白</span>為四大家而不及<span class="專名">王實甫</span>，有以也。<span class="書名">拜月亭</span>後小半，已為俗工刪改，非復舊本矣，今細閱『拜新月』以後，無一詞可入選者，便知此語非謬。<span class="書名">拜月亭</span>之外，余最愛<span class="書名">綉襦記</span>中<span class="書名">鵝毛雪</span>一折，皆乞兒家常口頭話，鎔鑄渾成，不見斧鑿痕跡，可與古詩『孔雀東南飛』、『唧唧復唧唧』並驅。余謂：此必<span class="專名">元</span>人筆，非<span class="專名">化</span>、<span class="專名">治</span>間人所能辦也。後問<span class="專名">沈寧菴</span>吏部，云果曾於<span class="專名">元</span>雜劇中見之。恨其時不曾問得出是何詞。余所見<span class="書名">鄭元和</span>雜劇凡三本，俱無此曲。　往年癸巳，<span class="專名">吳</span>中諸公子習武，為<span class="專名">江南</span>撫臣<span class="專名">朱鑑塘</span>所訐，謂諸公子且反，以其贈客詩云『君實有心追<span class="專名">季布</span>，蓬門無計托<span class="專名">朱家</span>』，為謀反確證。給事中<span class="專名">趙完璧</span>因據以上聞。時三相皆<span class="專名">吳</span>、<span class="專名">越</span>人，恐上遂信為真，急疏請行撫、按會勘虛實。會<span class="專名">朱</span>已去任，有代為解者曰：『此<span class="書名">拜月亭</span>曲中<span class="專名">陀滿興福</span>投<span class="專名">蔣世隆</span>，<span class="專名">蔣</span>因有此句答贈，非創作者。』因取坊間刻本證之，果然，諸公子獄始漸解。<span class="專名">王房仲</span>亦諸公子中一人也。今細閱新舊刻本，俱無此一聯，豈大獄興時，憎其連累，削去此二句耶？或云：『<span class="書名">拜月</span>初無是詩，特解紛者詭為此說，以代<span class="專名">聊城</span>矢耳。』豈其然乎？</p>
