其後母臥疾歲餘，翼親易燥濕，母食則食，母不食則不食。 Later his mother lay ill for more than a year. Yi personally tended her comfort, changing bedding for dry or damp; when his mother ate he ate, when she did not eat he did not eat.

母患暴痢，翼謂中毒，遂親嘗惡。 His mother suffered sudden dysentery. Yi feared poison and personally tasted her foul discharges.

及母終，翼一慟而絕，其妻亦不勝哀而死，鄉人厚共葬之。 When his mother died, Yi cried out once and collapsed. His wife too died of grief, and the villagers gave them a shared burial with full honors.
