「五明」（朱長方）
小閣疎簾，炙香埽地。松吹回夢，茶味洗昬。出此冊與知味者鑒之，亦可謂精微穿溟涬也。辛酉七月三日惟憲書於泊如齋
「人澹如菊」（白方）「泊如齋」（朱長方」「吾竹軒」（白方）
Weng Tonghe 翁同龢 (1830 – 1904)
3 columns in standard script, undated; 1 seal:
康熙甲辰先生年三十二是為少作，然吾嘗遇仙人顏如桃華，問其年乃數百歲，先生殆數万歲人耶？「叔平」（朱方）
5 columns in standard script, dated 1891; 2 seals:
新作書堂秋夜篝鐙，觀此畫因以苦茗一杯酹之，明日紛紛吾亦俗客矣，未足与觀此畫也。

InscriptionsArtist’s inscription and signature
Preface, 5 columns in running script, dated 1665
右小景十幀，為東園娛閒遊戲之作。或規模古製，亦間出新意，不循畦徑。無煩繪采，欲墨章水暈，自備五色。非得像外之賞者，未足於觀此畫也。甲辰臘月八日惲壽平識
To the right are ten small scenes playfully painted by Dongyuan [Yun Shouping’ in moments of leisure. Though they are executed in an antique style, some new ideas appear here and there, so they do not follow the same old paths. I did not bother to add colors for I wanted all five colors to be fully conveyed by the ink tones alone. Only someone who can appreciate things beyond their forms is capable of contemplating this painting. Inscribed by Yun Shouping on the eighth day of the last month in the jiachen year [1665].
Album leaf 1-2, 2 columns in running script, undated:
學元人小景，蕭散懬澹、竹石亂泉，不作叢莽冗雜，清韵自足。
Album leaf 3-4, 6 columns in running script, undated:
翠微路，碧雲野，水淙淙石壁下，清猿叫月澗戶寒。落花無人春山夜，楚魂愁，瑤琴寫，芝草初未生，空憶巢居者。 春夜畫春澗流泉得句 東園生壽平
Album leaf 5-6, 4 columns in running script, undated:
恠底眼邊雲樹合，却疑身在富春江。秋來常置烏皮几，應有嵐煙撲酒缸。東園客
Album leaf 7-8, 7 columns in running script, dated 1664:
驅豪染嵐霧，一片匡廬壁。鍾磬出空翠，江流瀉天碧。島影懸微茫，廻灘互明滅。吳雲不可見，千帆望中沒。
昔人有江山圖，余倣其意作小景，于古亦有入處。鑒者當得之畦徑之外也。
甲辰臘月壽平題
Album leaf 9-10, 5 columns in running script, undated:
白雲還憶去年春，冷雨楊花踏作塵。十二橋頭絃管散，可憐猶有蕩舟人。
初春偶憶湖山風物，戲為圖并書舊作以實。
Album leaf 11-12, 3 columns in running script, undated:
誰捲珠簾望陌頭，三眠無復舊金溝。青門路上千條綠，半是春風半是愁。
題楊柳 東園客
Album leaf 13-14, 4 columns in running script, undated:
青山家不遠，路盡花谿轉。剌舡沙渚不逢人，東風鳥啼山又春。
蕭文奐畫咫尺間便覺有萬里之勢，余豈能然？但作半幅圖意亦未魷盡耳。
Album leaf 15-16, 5 columns in running script, undated:
雲林畫天真澹蕳，一木一石自有千巗萬壑之趣。今人遂以一木一石求雲林，幾失雲林矣。東園壽
Album leaf 17-18, 7 columns in running script, undated:
戲用家香山翁墨氣作北苑，庶兌畫虎之譏否？
Album leaf 19-20, 2 columns in running script, undated:
撫公望 東園生
