侃執槊上馬,左右擊刺,特盡其妙,高祖善之,又制《武宴詩》三十韻以示侃,侃卽席應詔,高祖覽曰:「吾聞仁者有勇,今見勇者有仁,可謂鄒、魯遺風,英賢不絕。」 Kan mounted, spear in hand, and fenced with flawless grace. Delighted, the emperor wrote thirty rhymes of “Martial Feast Poetry” and Kan answered at once from his seat. The emperor read them and said, “They say the benevolent are brave—today I see brave men who are benevolent. Zou and Lu live on; worthies never die out.”
