MYS VIII: 1591

黄葉乃 過麻久惜美 思共 遊今夜者 不開毛有奴香

もみちばの すぎまくをしみ おもふどち あそぶこよひは あけずもあらぬか

momidiba no
sugimaku wosimi
omopudoti
asobu koyopi pa
akezu mo aranu ka
The autumn leaves’
Scattered passing, regretting
With fine company
Enjoying tonight—
O, won’t dawn break not?

The above is a poem by Ōtomo sukune Yakamochi of the Palace Guards.
