Inscriptions

Poem:

石砫請纓
帳外刀光擁節旄,洗夫人後幾英豪。桃花馬上歸來晚,香汗如珠濕戰袍。
嘉慶四年歲在己未,長至前三日題於漚波舫。
墨琴女史曹貞秀
Madame Xi Volunteering Her Services
Outside the tent, light from swords brightened the banner,
After Madame Xi, how many heroines can we count?
The peach-flower [lady] returns late on horseback,
Dripping with pearly sweat, her warrior robe was wet through and through.
Written aboard the Boat of Frothing Waves in the fourth year of the Jiaqing period, the jiwei year, three days before the summer solstice.
[Signed] Moqin Nüshi, Cao Zhenxiu
