GSS XI: 788

Sent to a lady named Yamato at the residence of Prince Atsuyoshi.

今さらにおもひいでじとしのぶるをこひしきにこそわすれわびぬれ

ima sara ni
omoFi’idezi to
sinoburu wo
koFisiki ni koso
wasurewabinure
Now it is that
I’ll think on you no more, and
Endure, but
Such strong love is
Painful to forget!

The Minister of the Left
