Round Twenty-Four

Love

Left (Win)

恋しさのなぐさむ方やなからましつらき心をおもひませずは

koishisa no nagusamu kata ya nakaramashi tsuraki kokoro o omoimasezu wa

I wish my love for you My consolation Would be not—for then Of your cold heart I would not have to think…

Lord Kiyosuke
47

Right

君こずはうちへもいらじはらひつるねやのおもはむ事もはづかし

kimi kozu wa uchi e mo iraji haraitsuru neya no omowamu koto wa hazukashi

You have not come, so I’ll not enter in— Swept clean, Thinking of my bedchamber Is embarrassing, indeed!

Shun’e
48

Both are elegant, yet what comes after ‘within’ is not something which one would really feel, so I would say the Right loses.
