高門欲看誰家竹
姓字先須門主人
縁蔭清風蔵一榻
正宜賢主對嘉賓
板橋老人
鄭燮
In my rough translation,

Before I want to see this high gated house with bamboos,
I have to ask the owner whether he has a cool wind-swept room under the eaves with a bed,
what a really clever house-lord can offer to a guest
The Old Man Banqiao
Zheng Xie

With regards,
I.Nagy
