Composed on the Third Day at a banquet at the estate of Yakamochi, Lord Ōtomo.
漢人も栰を浮べて遊ぶとふ今日そわが背子花蘰せな
| karabito mo pune wo ukabete asobu topu kepu so wa ga seko pana kadurasena |
The folk of Cathay, too, Drift in their boats At play, ‘tis said, Upon this day, my love, Won’t you wear, this garland, in your hair? |
Ōtomo no Yakamochi
