SSIS IX: 760

Composed when the former Teishi Emperor made a progress to Naniwa.

君がため波の玉しくみつの浜ゆき過ぎがたしおりてひろはん

kimi ga tame
nami no tamashiku
mitsu no hama
yukisugigatashi
orite hirowan
For my Lord’s sake
The waves scatter gems
On the beach at Mitsu—
So hard it is to pass them by
I would disembark and gather them up!

Prince Sadakazu
