松溪水色綠於松，每到松溪聽暮鐘。閑得心源秖如此，問禪何必向雙峰。
危根瘦盖聳孤峰，珍重江僧好筆蹤。得向遊人多處畫，卻勝澗底作眞松。
倣倪元鎭畫松亭秋色圖。辛酉七月。
Pine Stream’s color is greener than the pines. When here, I listen to the evening temple bell. Casually discovering the mind’s source is just like this. Why seek Chan Buddhist instruction from the Twin Peaks?
Tenuous roots, thin foliage, a single, lofty peak. I treasure the excellent brushstrokes of the River Monk. If this traveler could obtain more landscape paintings, they would surpass the real pines at the foot of the ravine.
Pavilion under Pine Trees in Autumn after Ni Yuanzhen [Zan], painted in the tenth month of the xinyou year [1621]. Xuanzai [Dong Qichang].
