When he was sent into exile.
あめの下のがるゝ人のなければや着てし濡れ衣干るよしもなき
| ame no sita nogaruru Fito no nakereba ya kitesi nureginu Firu yosi mo naki |
From the heavens’ falling rain, No one escapes, So, Blameless, I wear my soaking clothes With no way to dry them. |

稻荷山社の數を人問はゞつれなき人をみつと答へむ
| inari yama yasiro no kazu wo Fito toFaba turenaki Fito wo mitu to kotaFemu |
On the mount of Inari How many are the shrines, I asked her, and She, coldhearted, ‘ See free for yourself!’ replied! |
