This large ink drawing has no seal. Can someone translate the calligraphy.

Thanks

時月上弦
客從江南來來
未旹　銓夏
In the first quarter of the moon
The guest comes from the south of Yangtse River
At the time of Sheep (Period from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m.)
Quanxia

The two lines above are the first two lines of Bai Juyi's poem "Guest in the Moon"
Guanxia is most probably the given or art-name of the unidentifiable artist.

With regards,
I.Nagy

Many thanks as always.

Could it read GUANGXIA?

This is another by what looks like the same artist. Again no seal, but does the calligraphy help.

Thanks

John

Inscription reads,
隻履圖　-　Zhilü - A single (straw) sandal

The picture depicts Bodhidharma according to the Taoist belief, on the way returning to India with a single straw sandal in his hand.
