That sleeper has from Dreams, how many times Awakened? Pointlessly reversed is My night robe! |

Both Gentlemen state there are no faults to mention.
In judgement: both Left and Right use a ‘pointlessly reversed night robe’ (kaesu kainaki sayogoromo), but I wonder about the impression of the Right’s ‘sleeper’ (neru hito no). The Left, from the initial ‘my dreams have ceased’ (yume taete) to the concluding section sounds fine. Thus, I must make the Left the winner.
