I have this tea caddy that seems to be of Republic period.
I would like to have help with calligraphy.

Thank you

Right side,
雀舌味經三月雨
龍芽先占一枝春
The tongues of sparrows* have not experienced rain
in March
and the branches of dragon buds** take the lead in spring

* Another name for tea leaves
** Another name for tea shrubs

Middle,
與孝寶
靠子孫
而用 丁巳冬月
For the excessive filial piety of the descendants
In the Winter-Month of the Year of Fire-Snake (1917)

Left side.
有香告在此中 
聞丹臣寫 
Have a fragrance to tell this
Painted by Wen Danchen

With regards,
