Round Thirteen
Left (Tie)
ひこぼしのくれをまつまはあぢきなく雲のよそなる心ちこそせね
hikoboshi no kure o matsu ma wa ajikinaku kumo no yoso naru kokochi koso sene | While the Herd Boy The evening awaits, He suffers— Beyond the distant clouds Is where his feelings lie! |

Right
さもこそは身はならはしといひながら七夕いかでたへてすぐらん
sa mo koso wa mi wa narawashi to iinagara tanabata ikade taete suguran | That is how it is— Her flesh knows how it is, They say, but How is it that the Weaver Maid Endures the passing days? |

In terms of overall quality, the Left is superior, but I am unable to understand it. The conclusion of the Right is non-standard.
