釋文：民國廿六年，古曆歲丁丑。相見備發財，依舊不離口。五路迎財神，家家㱃福酒。日逢金危危，況在歲之首。金為五行先，上危乃星斗。下危黃道日，三字合為某。其意究何居，故事傳之久。所見在何書，出處我未剖。詩誦唱和稾，畫觀翰墨藪。推祘一年中，此日未必有。今乃兩遇之，無獨必有偶。二次過芒種，四月二十九。人雲宜祀之，其神當不負。牲醴及香燭，供以黃昏後。禱祝避家人，默默首深叩。祭神如神在，神其許財阜。人以值利求，神可酒食誘。誘者所得虛，求者所望厚。深夜類鑚營，人祀我則否。安貧而樂道，安分而䍩壽。一經教子孫，勝金滿籯簍。不觀投機者，升沉富以苟。傾覆頃刻間，得失猶反手。妄念不可萌，蓻事或可取。日午畫一貓，辟處功在守。黑白當分明，不管牝與牡。形固要擇肥，貌亦別妍醜。乞未裏鹽箬，捕非着蹯瓜。眾鼠皆慴伏，奔竄及鼯□。藏物不掩笥，藏食不覆瓿。兼護萬卷書，相伴在座右。攷字義從苗，能驅田鼠走。有貓有虎詩，其功並□畝。是宜兼画虎，画虎恐類狗。
