…… ……  

苍海苍海，余念旧恩。儿时嬉水，在公膺前。 

沸波激岸，随公转旋。淋淋翔翔，媵余往还。  

涤我胸臆，慑我精魂。惟余与女，父子等亲。 

或近或远，托我之身。今我来斯，握我之鬊。  

CLXXXIV  

And I have loved thee, Ocean! and my joy 

Of youthful sports was on thy breast to be  

Borne like thy bubbles, onward: from a boy 

I wantoned with thy breakers — they to me  

Were a delight; and if the freshening sea 

Made them a terror —’twas a pleasing fear,  

For I was as it were a child of thee, 

And trusted to thy billows far and near,   

And laid my hand upon thy mane — as I do here.  

昔木华、张融并作《海赋》，以彼巨笔，赞咏大瀛，此土已难再遘矣！拜轮西土诗人，其托想类情，或殊华域；而瑰诡华妙，实可叹称。己酉春夏之交与曼殊同依太炎，暇日译此，愧未能适合本意也。【章太炎也译了其中一节。】
