When a group of us had gone to Uji, Lord Kagemasa wrote this on the lid of a cypress-wood lunch box and sent it over:
端姫に夜半のさむさもとふべきにさそはで過ぐるかり人やたれ
| Fasi Fime ni yoFa no samusa mo toFubeki ni sasoFade suguru karibito ya tare |
To the Damsel of the Bridge, ‘How fare you in the deep night’s chill?’ Should one enquire; Passing by without a word, Who might be this heartless hunter? |
