The man comes when it is drizzling and says he must approach and talk to her:
綿津海のそこに深くは入れずともしぐれにだにも濡らさざらなむ
| watatu umi no soko no Fukaku Fa irezu tomo sigure ni dani mo nurasazaranamu |
Though to the boundless main’s Deepest depths I may not enter, At least within the drizzle Do not let me be drenched! |
