A poem from the Poetry Contest held by the Dowager Empress during the Reign of the Kanpyō Emperor.

よそにみし人におもひをつけそめてこころからこそしたにこがるれ

yoso ni mishi hito ni omoi o tsukesomete kokoro kara koso shita ni kogarure

Casually did I see Her, and the fires of passion First ignited; From within my heart, I secretly smoulder.
