初，超自長安行至梁父，慕容法時為兗州，鎮南長史悅壽還謂法曰：「向見北海王子，天資弘雅，神爽高邁，始知天族多奇，玉林皆寶。」 At first, when Chao traveled from Chang’an to Liangfu, Murong Fa then held Yan Province; the southern garrison chief clerk Yue Shou returned and said to Fa: “Just now I saw the prince of Beihai—his heaven-bestowed breadth is refined, his spirit lofty; only then did I know the celestial clan has many marvels, every tree of the jade grove a treasure.”
超輦而升城，尚書悅壽言於超曰：「天地不仁，助寇為虐，戰士尪病，日就凋隕，守困窮城，息望外援，天時人事，亦可知矣。 Chao was carried in a palanquin up the wall; Minister Yue Shou spoke to Chao: “Heaven and earth are not humane—they aid the bandit in cruelty; warriors are wasted and sick, daily nearing withering fall; we guard a poor exhausted city, breath stopped waiting for outside aid—heaven’s timing and human affairs are also knowable.
