<p>甲申歲，刑部主事<span class="專名">俞識軒</span><span class="專名">顯卿</span>論劾禮部主事<span class="專名">屠長卿</span><span class="專名">隆</span>。得旨，兩人俱革職為民。<span class="專名">俞</span>，<span class="專名">松江</span>之<span class="專名">上海</span>人，為孝廉時，適<span class="專名">屠</span>令<span class="專名">青浦</span>，以事干謁之，<span class="專名">屠</span>不聽，且加侮慢，<span class="專名">俞</span>心恨甚。至是，具疏指<span class="專名">屠</span>淫縱，且云『與<span class="專名">西寧侯</span><span class="專名">宋世恩</span>夫人有私』，並及<span class="專名">屠</span>帷簿，至云『日中為市，交易而退』，又有『翠館侯門，青樓郎署』諸媟語。上覽之，大怒，遂並斥之。<span class="專名">屠</span>自邑令內召，甫年餘，<span class="專名">俞</span>第後授官，祗數月耳。睚眥之忿，兩人俱敗，終身不復振。人亦有惜<span class="專名">屠</span>之才，然終不以登啟事也。<span class="專名">西寧</span>夫人有才色，工音律。<span class="專名">屠</span>亦能新聲，頗以自炫，每劇場，輒闌入群優中作技。夫人從簾箔見之，或勞以香茗，因以外傳。至於通家往還，亦有之，何至如<span class="專名">俞</span>疏云云也！近年<span class="專名">屠</span>作<span class="書名">曇花記</span>，忽以<span class="專名">木清泰</span>為主，嘗怪其無謂。一日遇<span class="專名">屠</span>於<span class="專名">武林</span>，命其家僮演此曲，指揮四顧，如<span class="專名">辛幼安</span>之歌『千古江山』，自鳴得意。余於席間私問<span class="專名">馮開之</span>祭酒云：『<span class="專名">屠</span>年伯此記，出何典故？』<span class="專名">馮</span>笑曰：『子不知耶？「木」字增一蓋成「宋」字，「清」字與「西」為對，「泰」即「寧」之義也。<span class="專名">屠</span>晚年自恨往時孟浪，致累<span class="專名">宋夫人</span>被醜聲；侯方嚮用，亦因以坐廢。此懺悔文也。』時<span class="專名">虞德園</span>吏部在坐，亦聞之，笑曰：『故不如余所作<span class="書名">曇花</span>序，云「此乃大雅<span class="書名">目連傳</span>，免涉閨閣葛藤」語，差為得之。』余應曰：『此乃著色<span class="書名">西遊記</span>，何必詰其真偽？』今<span class="專名">馮</span>年伯歿矣。其言必有所本，恨不細叩之。</p>
