inscription: 夢游天台圖.
余舊藏子畏赤城仙館卷子，僅尺餘而具千巖萬壑之勢。甲戌三月，戲為雲伯臨作行看子。錢叔美并識。[印]壺公

inscription: 今年春為雲伯作夢游天台圖，雲伯裝淇成卷。秋七月，余來吳中桂葉書堂，展玩竟日後，為其書紀舊作於卷後。雲伯詩空靈出杳，恐斯圖不能傳寫萬一。時秋暑熾甚，揮汗為之，腕力復弱，書又劣於畫，夫奈何。叔美并記。[印]叔美 [印, 右下]錢叔美

remark:
inscription: 屏風九疊雲錦張，山氣滃雲雲氣涼。/
莓苔如席二尺厚，此間翠壁非石梁。/
珠簾倒挂絕壁下，萬斛鮫珠向空瀉。/
仙穴元氣沖然通，別有白龍出山罅。/
龍起欲裂青山青，拍手一喝停雲停。/
須臾復迸勢更急，水花倒捲搖瓏玲。/
有美一人美且頎，翠袖獨倚紅闌西。/
顧我目成若相識，疑是劉阮所遇之仙妃。/
瓊臺金闕渺何處，胡麻飯熟桃花肥。/
一翁飲水惟讀書，吐納山綠餐松腴。/
書中所言不盡識，妙理必有壺公壺。/
山花襲人紅蔌蔌，醒後翻疑尋夢轂。/
泠然殘響滿空山，月痕正照秋屏綠。
