They are not known, rather self-made verses,
Plate 1,
芬芳爛熳春三月
結實瑤臺九秋天
Sweet smelling and bright colored in March
Bears fruits in *Yaotai in late autumn

Yaotai; place where Gods live in mythology

Plate 2,
素夏深沉白夜中
珊瑚睡水嗅薫風
On the deep white nights of the summer
The corrals sleep and the waters smell of south wind

With regards,
I.Nagy
