Very large (largest I've seen lol!) Asian soapstone seal. Measures 4.75 inches tall and 2.5 inches wide. Looking for information on age and a translation of the writing on the side. THANKS!

Inscription is a poem by the Tang Dynasty poet Wang Han (王翰）

蒲桃美酒夜光杯
欲飲琵琶馬上催
酔臥沙場君莫笑
古來征戦幾人回

Delicious wine in a luminous cup*
When I tried to drink on the horse, I heard the sound of pipa**
Don't laugh when I get drunk and fell asleep in the desert
After all, from ancient time very few people have ever come back alive from wars

*　It is made of jade, and is one of the specialities in Jiuquan, Gansu Province on the western border of China, the starting point of Chinese military expeditions to the west.
** A plucked string instrument

I can't see any other inscription than the poem,

With regards,
I.Nagy

I. Nagy, thank you so much for the information you provided.

Do you have any idea when this was made?

I've also attached a pic of the bottom. THANKS!

Reading the imprint of the (leisure) seal:
高山流水　Gāoshān liúshuĭ　-
High mountains and flowing waters -
Metaphor for a bosom friend or confidant

It looks quite old, but I can't estimate its age.

With regards,
I.Nagy

Much appreciate your responses!
