題西川一草亭畫

十年仍舊灌花人

還對秋風詩思新

一草亭中閑半日

寫從紅蓼到青蘋

An Inscription on a Painting by Nishikawa Issōtei (Rustic Abode)

Ten years and the man still waters his flowers;

He faces the wind of another autumn, his poetic thoughts are new.

In his rustic abode he spends half the day in leisure,

Painting things from red cress to green waterweed.
