琵琶記　　　元高明

　第一出　副末開場

　　【水調歌頭】〔副末上〕秋燈明翠幕，夜案覽芸編。今來古往，其間故事幾多般。少甚佳人才子，也有神仙幽怪，瑣碎不堪觀。正是不關風化體，縱好也徒然。論傳奇，樂人易，動人難。知音君子，這般另作眼兒看。休論插科打諢，也不尋宮數調，只看子孝共妻賢。正是：驊騮方獨步，萬馬敢爭先。〔問內科〕且問後房子弟，今日敷演誰家故事？那本傳奇？〔內應科〕三不從琵琶記。〔末〕原來是這本傳奇。待小子略道幾句家門，便見戲文大意。

　　【沁園春】趙女姿容，蔡邕文業，兩月夫妻。奈朝廷黃榜，遍招賢士；高堂嚴命，強赴春闈。一舉鼇頭，再婚牛氏，利綰名牽竟不歸。饑荒歲，雙親俱喪，此際實堪悲。堪悲趙女支持，剪下香雲送舅姑。把麻裙包土，築成墳墓；琵琶寫怨，徑往京畿。孝矣伯喈，賢哉牛氏，書館相逢最慘淒。重廬墓，一夫二婦，旌表門閭。

　　極富極貴牛丞相。施仁施義張廣才。　　有貞有烈趙貞女。全忠全孝蔡伯喈。　第二出　高堂稱壽

　　【瑞鶴仙】〔生上〕十載親燈火，論高才絕學... Continue reading book >>
