Round Eighty-Four

Left

見るゆめにうつつのうさもわすられておもひなぐさむ程ぞはかなき

miru yume ni utsutsu no usa mo wasurarete omoinagusamu hodo zo hakanaki

Being seen in a dream, then Reality’s cold cruelties I will forget, and Be comforted For a brief, empty moment.

Right

いきてよもあすまで人はつらからじこの夕暮をとはばとへかし

ikite yo mo asu made hito mo tsurakaraji kono yūgure o towaba toe kashi

Living in this world I shall do until the morrow, for his Cruelty I would endure no longer; On this evening Should he call, ’twould be the right one.
