拍品专文

The poem translates approximately as follows:
Jeneever is a type of thing that makes everything deteriorate / Gold, silver and money and all the best clothes / It makes your legs thin and your head similar to the moon / As if you went off track for six years / Who goes to pubs often, becomes slower in his work / He makes the landlord fat and he himself becomes skinny
