依村構草亭，端方意匠宏。林深禽鳥樂，塵遠竹松輕。泉石俱延賞，琴書悅性情。何當謝凡近，任適慰平生。至正七年丁亥冬十月，為元澤戲作草亭詩意。梅沙彌書 [印]楳華盦; 嘉興吳鎮仲圭書畫記

Inscription Translation

Artist's inscription, signature, and 2 seals: A thatched pavilion stands by the side of a hamlet./ Well conceived, the view from it is expansive./ The forest deepens just as the birds are joyful./ The bamboo and pines remain light, as the dusty world is far away./ Its spring and rocks are for our enjoyment./ The qin and books are to delight our spirit./ How should I bid farewell to those of the common place?/ May it suit our heart’s desire and bring solace to our life. In the tenth month of winter, in dinghai, the seventh year of Zhizheng [1347], did this Poetic Feeling in a Thatched Pavilion playfully for Yuanze. Written by Mei shami [Novice of the Plum Blossom]. [seals] Mei hua an; Jiaxing Wu Zhen zhong gui shu hua ji

Inscription

我愛梅花翁，巨老傳心印。脩此水墨缘，種種得蒼潤。樹石墮筆鋒，造化不能吝。而今橡林下，我願執掃汛。後學沈周 [印]启南

Inscription Translation

Colophon by Shen Zhou (1427-1509): I love the Old Man of the Plum-blossom,/ Who inherited the secrets of Juran from heart to heart./ In cultivating this "water and ink kinship"/ He was able to endow everything with a touch of aged mellowness./ Trees and rocks seem to fall from his brush [so effortlessly]/ That even nature itself could hardly deny their emergence./ So now, under the grove of the oak trees,/ I am willing to serve him with all humility. Shen Zhou, a later follower. [seal] Qinan

Inscription

Colophon by Chen Rentao (1952): 予求梅道人畫二十年不可得。所見多膺鼎，即故宮所藏山水數軸都不可靠。傳世真迹，惟《漁父圖》、《嘉禾八景》與此《草亭詩意》而已。壬辰十月十四日余大病初愈，居家休養，研山師忽持此圖相贈。展卷披覽，頓覺精神沛振，如服僊藥。同日又得宋拓柳公權《神策軍紀聖德碑》，及群玉堂藏《真草書千(字)文》，皆海內孤本。一日得數寶，欣喜何如，書以志幸。陳仁濤識 [印]陳氏仁濤

Inscription

Colophon by Chen Rentao: 此圖作於至正七年丁亥，時年六十八，盖其晚年神品也。濤又識 [印]陳仁濤
